Bowie Knives

Between 1835 and 1836, Texans fought for their independence from Mexico. The most famous battle of the war centred around The Alamo, which was a missionary station that had been turned into a fort.

This knife is the exciting replica of a Bowie knife exhibited in the Alamo museum. Its blade has a number of unusual features: it curves to an extreme point and a plate of shining brass encases the back. In matching brass, the ends of the crossguard curve gracefully in opposite directions. The genuine wooden grip is straight at the side of the back but on the side of the sharp edge, it is slightly wavy for an improved grip. Our Alamo Bowie knife comes with a matching sheath in brown leather.

Its special feature is the blade: the upper third of its back is curved to bring the point somewhat closer to the sharp edge. Unlike other models, this Bowie knife does not have a false edge. Thanks to the symmetrical horn grip (which actually makes this knife a type of dagger), it is very comfortable to hold. The distinctive handguard has a simple look but is extremely effective at keeping your hand on the grip.

It comes with a leather scabbard with a loop so it can be attached to belts with a maximum width of 12 cm.

Most Bowie knife blades are shaped differently than this one – it actually has more in common with a cavalry sabre or a machete. But the term "Bowie knife" has become almost generic for longer, fixed knives, and knives like this South Civil War Bowie knife with knuckle bow were used from the earliest days of the War between the States.

Our Bowie knife with a knuckle bow has a hand forged, single-edged carbon steel blade with a long ridge and a false edge that takes up between one-third and one-half of the blade. This knife has a full tang that is riveted securely to the knuckle bow. The grip is made of hardwood. This South Civil War Bowie knife with knuckle bow comes with a leather scabbard with a mount and chape.

Often glorified in movies and books, the life of the cowboy involves a lot of hardship – and more than enough hard work. In addition to the already countless health hazards that presented themselves throughout the work day, 19th-century cowboys had to deal with threats from Indians and rustlers. Many carried boot knives in their tall cowboy boots both to lower their risk of injury while dealing with their horses and generally to be able to move more freely. Such knives allowed them to take care of their incidental workload.

Our Cowboy Boot Knife is a high-quality replica of the American boot knife. Its narrow shape and handy size of 25cm makes it ideal for stowing in a pair of work boots. The curved blade of carbon steel has a false edge on top that takes up about a third of the total blade length. Made of hardwood, the polished grip is riveted to the full tang and separated from the blade by a wide handguard

A sheath of leather is included upon delivery and is reinforced with metal on both sides.
