Howard Hitchmough Custom Sub-Hilt Bowie

Rare Howard Hitchmough Custom Sub-Hilt Bowie – An Exceptional Collector's Treasure

When it comes to world-class craftsmanship, Howard Hitchmough's name stands at the pinnacle. This Howard Hitchmough Custom Sub-Hilt Bowie knife is a testament to his mastery and precision, making it a prize for any discerning collector or enthusiast.

Exquisite Design & Superior Craftsmanship

This knife boasts a blade length of 18.5 cm, with an impressive overall length exceeding 32 cm. The full tang construction transitions into a long, tapered tang, ensuring both balance and durability. The handle, featuring bone onlays and secured with handmade brass pins, exudes sophistication, while textured steel bolsters provide a firm, confident grip.

Hand-forged and engraved with "Hitchmough, England," the blade reflects the tradition of fine British craftsmanship. As expected from Hitchmough, this knife embodies meticulous detail and technical brilliance, making it not only functional but also a work of art.

Collectible History & Provenance

This is more than just a knife; it’s a piece of history. A pre-owned treasure from a private collection, this knife is exceptionally rare and highly sought-after. Adding to its value is its handcrafted leather sheath, completing a package that represents both utility and beauty.
