The Copper Damascus Sub-Hilt Fighter Bowie by JW SteelCrafts is a bold, large-format collector knife in the classic Loveless-style sub-hilt form. At 17 inches overall, it carries a striking copper Damascus blade with a warm, layered pattern, finished with a secondary sub-hilt guard that defines this collector design. It is a true centerpiece for any serious knife collection.
This handcrafted piece works as a standout display knife and a memorable gift for Bowie and Damascus fans. Because each blade is hand-forged, the copper Damascus pattern is unique on every piece.
The sub-hilt design became famous through American custom knifemaking in the 20th century, where a second, smaller guard was added in front of the main guard for extra control and a distinctive look. The style is closely tied to the golden age of custom collector knives and remains a prized form among enthusiasts. Pairing that classic sub-hilt shape with copper Damascus steel adds a modern, decorative twist, blending traditional folded-steel craft with warm copper-toned contrast. This 17-inch piece celebrates that collector heritage as a display knife valued for its scale, pattern, and craftsmanship.

Sturdy
The ball bearings make them roll smooth. I've put plenty of pressure through them and no bending or breaking. The middle sized unit is probably the most useful. The small one has it's uses but can act like a pizza cutter and easily go through sound deadening mats. The large one has a little too much surface area to get a good crush on the mats.

Works great, good price
Makes installing sound deadening panels a breeze. A little elbow grease required but makes for perfect contact with the sheet metal and butyl.

Well Made Tools!
I have been installing Kilmat in my early 74 Datsun 260Z restoration and these tools are very nice for the price. I like them because they actually have ball bearings and move smoothly over the matting. The size selection is very handy as well and even has some nice finished wooden handles.
