Bowie Knives

To see our unique selection of bowie knives click the link above or choose "Bowie Knives" from the "Type" drop down menu to the left.

It was said that James Bowie, Rezin's brother, used this same knife to kill Maj. Norris Wright in a now infamous fight that was part of what launched bowie knives into knife fame.

Although the Bowie was an intrinsically American knife it is now produced all over the world. There are so many different design variations of bowie knives that it is hard to keep up.

Some people have said that the 'survival knife' is the most modern extrapolation of the bowie design.

At World Knives we have a growing selection of modern Bowie knives.

Linder of Germany crafts some excellent contemporary bowies. Linder has been making knives since 1870 and is one of Solingen, Germany's oldest cutleries.

Take a look at the Linder Special Engraved Collector Stag Bowie we have in stock. It is a stunning bowie!

This knife measures a whopping 15" long with a 440 German steel blade measuring 9 3/4"! It weighs more than 1-1/2 pounds out of the sheath.

But this knife doesn't just have size on it's side. The craftsmanship is outstanding! It has massive stag scales, highly polished solid brass bolsters and engraving on the blade.

Linder also offers a slightly smaller stag handled bowie. Linder Stag Bowie Knife measures 12 3/4" overall. It has a 7 3/4" 440 stainless steel blade, stag handle and solid brass guard and pommel. The beautifully constructed leather sheath is made to last.

Esparcia of Spain makes an excellent quality Olive Wood handle bowie knife. Cuchilleria Esparcia is dedicated to creating high quality knives with attention to design and detail that is difficult to match.

The Esparcia family has a long history of producing knives that are elegant, beautiful and reflective of Spanish tradition. All Esparcia knives are created exclusively in their factory in Albacete, Spain.

Esparcia's Olive Wood Bowie has a large 21 Cm (8 ¼") 440 stainless steel blade, European Olive wood handle and solid brass pommel and guard. This knife is over 33cm (13 1/2") in total length and is a very well balanced knife. It comes with a heavy-duty Esparcia leather sheath.
