Bowies

Bowie knives are a legend! Because of their Clip Point blade and their impressive size, Bowie knives have often been used in movies, especially in the classic series "Rambo" and the famous "Crocodile Dundee" to name but a few. Later on, the famous video games "Call of Duty" will use this mythical Bowie knife and contribute to make it cross the ages!

All this contributes to forge this knife a reputation of combat knife and survival knife at the same time. And it is true that it is one of the few knives that can boast of being effective as a military knife while being adapted to survival and outdoor life. It is the ultimate multipurpose knife!

We must also admit that it is a beautiful object. That's why "the Bowie" as it's called still has many years ahead of it and remains a classic in cutlery.

Characteristics of the Bowie knife

Very large blade and a certain weight

Don't be fooled, the Bowie knife packs a punch! Obviously with a blade ranging from 20 to 40 cm, it is difficult to expect anything else. Moreover, like any self-respecting survival knife, the Bowie knife is a "full tang". This means that the blade of the knife is set in the handle. This means that in case of breakage of the handle, it is possible to "wrap" the handle with paracord and thus repair your knife in no time.

Type of blade

The type of blade of the Bowie is recognizable between thousand: a Clip Point partially sharpened on the edge and a guard guaranteeing a perfect grip in full safety. Of course, this very classic model of Bowie knife has been declined so that today it can happen that Bowie knives are designed on a Drop Point blade type for example.

The Bowie knife is the privilege of many brands

Many major cutlery brands produce this mythical knife. Ka-Bar, Cold Steel, Bark River, but also TOPS, Condor and Fallkniven offer Bowie knife models

The emblematic blade still has a great future ahead of it!
