Bowie Knives

James Bowie created a legend about himself and the knife he used in a hand-to-hand fight in Mississippi in 1827. What that knife looked like was soon lost, but the legend continued to grow. Bowie knives were in high demand, worn at the sides of members of Congress as well as barroom trash. The authentic Bowies by Windlass Steelcrafts are from America's past and hand forged from well-tempered steel to take and hold a razor edge. Most come with a leather sheath. Find great Bowies from Cold Steel and other great knife makers too!

Review of: Cold Steel Laredo Bowie Knife

This is another one of my favourite Bowie Knives. Super sharp right out of the box. And I love the weight, super light, but strong as can be. I’m a Bowie Knife freak, if I were you I would for sure put this one in your collection. Beautiful Bowie knife. Very nice handle, when your getting down on some real chopping, the knife will not move in your hand at all. Little pricey but I’ll be the first to tell you it’s worth ever penny! I would have paid more for that Bowie Knife. And I’m not joking. MATT THE OUTDOORS MAN. Get it. Never have I had a problem with this knife and believe you me I USE IT!

Review of: United Cutlery Honshu Boshin Bowie Knife With Sheath

This is one of my favorite Bowie knives! Out of the box it is sharp as a razor. And the look and feel in your hand is awesome. It has a rubber type handle that will not move your hand when you are got at it on a log or what ever it my be. I love it!! Just one thing on the sheath the right side the leather trends are coming lose. Trying to figure out a fix. Or my be the company will read this and send a new one. That would be awesome. But if I were you for the price this is one bad ass cool as hell looking Bowie Knife! GET IT FOR SURE. You will not be sorry.. MATT THE OUTDOORS MAN..

Review of: Hunter's Companion Bowie Knife

I truly like it, there are some light burn marks in discrete areas, but since it's supposed to look old I don't mind one bit :)

Review of: Hunter's Companion Bowie Knife

The knife showed up today, I am very impressed with the fit n' finish, the sheath appears to be high quality leather, the double-stitching is a nice touch. The knife fits in the sheath snugly. I have thoroughly chopped, sliced, and stabbed the box it arrived in to death. The edge still took hair off my arm, so I am happy. I gave the blade a slight flex, side to side, it didn't snap, and it sprang back to true straight. It has a nice high pitched ring to it when you tap it on the face of the blade with your finger nail, that usually indicates a good heat treat. I probaby won't push this knife to its limits, just because I plan to use it for civil war re-enactments and it is a bit spendy to replace should I damage it 😅

Review of: Texas Bowie Knife

I initially thought this was going to be a flimsy thin bladed knife because of the weight advertised but when I got it I was surprised at how thick the spine was (just shy of 1/4") and the heft of this HUGE blade. I can't keep my hands off of it.I keep saying (in my head while holding it) to Crocodile Dundee,"That aint no knife...THIS s a knife". The thing is as long as my whole arm and feels like 3 lbs. instead of 1 lb. 10. ozs. It's more like a short sword...so cool !
