The Bowie knife – with its unmistakable clip-point blade, sturdy cross-guard and generous belly – has been the benchmark for fixed-blade performance for nearly two centuries. Originally forged for frontier survival, today’s Bowie knives deliver the same blend of versatility and strength for hunting, bushcraft, camping or everyday carry.

Key Features to Look For

  • Blade Design: A pronounced clip point adds control for precision cuts, while a broad belly excels at slicing and skinning.

  • Steel & Construction: High-carbon and premium stainless steels (e.g. 1095, D2, 440C) offer a balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. Seek full-tang blades with robust cross-guards for safety and durability.

  • Handle Materials: Wood, G-10, Micarta or Kraton handles provide grip security in wet and dry conditions—choose the material that feels most comfortable in your hand.

Why a Bowie Knife?

  • Versatility: From clearing brush and chopping small limbs to field-dressing game and campsite tasks, a Bowie knife does it all.

  • Heritage & Style: Its dramatic profile and historic roots make it a collector’s favourite and a standout piece in any outdoorsman’s toolkit.

  • Reliability: The long blade and solid guard give extra leverage and protection—ideal when you need a tough, all-purpose fixed blade.

Choosing Your Perfect Bowie

  1. Blade Length: 6–12″ blades suit most users; shorter for carry comfort, longer for heavy-duty work.

  2. Balance & Weight: Heavier knives drive through tough materials; lighter models are better for precision and longer carry.

  3. Purpose: Hunting Bowie knives often feature finer points for skinning, while survival models prioritise thicker spines and stronger guards.
