The SG4™ Modern Bowie tip is great for all types of skinning, camp chores, digging and most outdoor uses. You can modify the blade to your own specifications.

The SG4™ Series fixed blade series were developed by Darrel Ralph to be the highest quality kit knife ever attempted for the fixed blade market. This blade has the most blade grind available in a kit for cutting meat and hide ... while still maintaining it's toughness for those who want to convert it to a utility or tactical knife model. If you notice the DEEP hollow grind; this grind was produced to help the SG4™ excel when slicing. The grind lines on this knife are very sharp and extremely crisp right out of the box. With a 600 grit satin finish on the blade, the SG4™ Modern Bowie makes for a fun to build, superior quality kit that will have a finished blade, as is, or after profile modification, you can hand rub the blade back to the high satin finish we provide on the initial blade, with little effort.

The SG4™ Modern Bowie Base Kit comes with stainless bolsters, precision stainless pins and thong hole tubing. (The base kit does not include handle material.) We designed the base handle on this design to be the same size as the blade thickness so that you can leave it as is, taper the tang a bit or skeletonize the tang portion under the scales for varying amounts of weight reduction in the finished piece. The outside of the SG4™ is satin scotch bright finished for the precision look needed by makers who sell their kit creations.

The blade is made from high grade AUS8 stainless steel. The hardness comes in at 57-59 rc. We feel this is the ideal hardness for ease of sharpening, or prying. Use SHEATH #3.
