FB49 Stok Bowie

Sjoerd Stok is a Dutch marketing specialist for one of Europe’s largest retailers of knives and outdoor gear. He is also a classically trained artist with a deep passion for knives. While attending art school, he learned the value of an everyday carry utility knife, but preferred the simplicity of a small fixed blade. Putting his talents to work, he designed two compact, legally friendly “urban fixed blades” that bear his name. The Stok Bowie showcases a saberground Bowie-style blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. Its full-tang handle features a refined ergonomic profile, peel-ply-textured G-10 handle scales, and a generous lanyard hole. To balance discreet carry and ready access, it comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath with a versatile G-Clip™ attachment that supports fully adjustable belt and inside-the-waistband carry.[1]
