Bowie knives are an American knife. Popularized by Jim Bowie and the legendary sandbar fight, the actual shape and size of the Bowie is a matter of dispute. There are several styles that are accepted as a Bowie style knife. I have included photos of my favorite designs.
#1 Damascus Bowie: Spirit pattern Damascus blade 9", fire blued iron fittings, gold wire inlay, burled wood handle.
#2 Carbon Steel Bowie: Hand finished carbon steel blade 7", fire blued steel fittings, bronze accents, wenge wood handle.
#3 Texture Spear Point Bowie: Forged texture carbon steel blade 8", fire blued iron fittings, bronze accents, wenge handle.
