The San Mai Damascus Bowie Knife by JW SteelCrafts is a handcrafted collector fixed blade built with laminated steel. It features a 9-inch clip point blade and a 5-inch rosewood handle finished with a brass clip, giving a warm, classic look. The san mai construction pairs a hard cutting core with a tougher outer jacket for a strong, refined blade.
This Bowie suits collectors, hunters, and gift buyers who appreciate fine forged steel. Because each blade is hand-forged, the layered pattern is unique on every knife.
San mai is a traditional laminated steel construction, long used in Japanese blade-making, where a hard, high-carbon core is sandwiched between two layers of tougher, more flexible steel. This "core-and-jacket" approach gives a blade the best of both worlds: a keen, long-lasting edge supported by a body that resists chipping and stress. Applying san mai to the classic American Bowie profile blends two great knife traditions in one piece. The clip point — with its swept, lowered tip — remains the defining Bowie feature. This handmade san mai Bowie carries both legacies forward as a collector and working fixed blade prized for its edge and craftsmanship.

I installed this on an e46 325ix sedan, they only worked, one of them is just a little loose. I don't know how long they last, because every time I open the bonnet, the lever bothers me a little?

Driver side is smaller and every time I open the hood it fall down. I have to bend the lever to open the hood to install it. It look good but I’m not happy with it and I’m scared ti drop it while I’m driving. I have to check on it every where I go to be sure didn’t fall
