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 ne'er-do-wells. 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!

Remember the Alamo

On Feb 23rd, 1836, the Battle of the Alamo began. For 13 days, 200 defenders, including James Bowie and Davy Crockett, battled Mexican forces numbering in the thousands during Texas' fight to gain independence from Mexico. Although Mexican forces finally overpowered them, the Battle of the Alamo became a symbol of not giving up against insurmountable odds. Texas's struggle for independence was finally won later that year.
