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: 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 !
