MADDOG – Recurved Filipino Bowie
Designed by Vict Lin in 2023, the MADDOG draws heavy inspiration from traditional Filipino fighting bowies—blades built for speed, power, and decisive cuts. This isn’t just aesthetic influence; the recurved edge geometry is there for a reason.
That deep recurve bites hard and holds material during the cut, giving you more control and noticeably more efficiency in draw cuts and chopping. Pair that with a long 12.6" cutting edge, and you’re looking at serious reach and leverage—this thing doesn’t tap, it commits.
Built from Böhler K329, the blade leans into toughness and edge stability. It’s not a fragile slicer—it’s meant to take impact, keep its edge, and keep going. The 0.21" thickness backs that up without turning it into a crowbar.
The hand-rubbed APO finish offers a subtle, low-profile look, while the Apocalypse finish ensures that each blade carries its own unique character—no two are exactly alike.
The G10 handle keeps things grounded—secure, weather-resistant, and grippy without being over-designed. No nonsense, just control when it matters.
