Down Under The Knives Lover

Gift Down Under The Knives Lover

The knife lover



Down Under Knives has been working on this knife for a while now. The mission was simple: push the boundaries and create the biggest, baddest knife you could ever call your own, without compromising on balance and usability in the slightest. To accomplish this, they started with the basic dimensions and lines of a colossal antique 1858 bowie and tweaked prototype after prototype until it looked and behaved exactly how they imagined. It’s not the easiest or quickest development process in the world, but with a knife this size you can’t just throw something together in a CAD program and expect it to work. You have to touch it to know you got it right.



Mistress™ is Down Under Knives’ first curved back design, placing even more mass behind the arc of the blade exactly where it matters for unprecedented slicing and cutting power. To complete the shape, Down Under Knives has given the knife a distinctive coffin handle and a solid S-style handguard crafted from a monolithic block of solid brass. During development it was decided to make the SA a more common style in swords of the period. When you hold it in your hand, you’ll know why – in this size category, it simply works better this way.



Finally, Down Under Knives packaged this beast in their signature heavy leather sheath, designed to match the Toothpick™.
