...Bowie knives are a staple of American knife history. Rezin P. Bowie is the namesake of the bowie knife and made the first bowie from an old file in the late 19th century. The knife was designed to be used for hunting purposes.
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 knife was an intrinsically American blade 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 with a concise definition of what a bowie knife is.
At World Knives we offer a large variety of bowie, hunting, pocket and specialty knives from around the world.
Please scroll down and check out our unique selection of bowie knives. You can click on a thumbnail photo to see details, prices and on-line order information.
At World Knives we have a growing selection of Bowie knives from several countries and manufacturers.
Linder of Germany crafts some excellent contemporary bowies. Linder has been making knives since 1870 and is one of Solingen Germanies 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. The 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.
Hattori is a Japanese company that produces some of the best production bowie knives in the world.
The Hattori company is located in the Japanese city of Seki. Seki is one of the world's hot-beds of cutlery manufacture, and Hattori is one of Seki's best.
Hattori is a contractor for a few select knife manufacturers in the US, but they also have a line of superb knives that have only been available in the Japanese market - until now!
We are proud to introduce these knives into the US market because they are unique, beautiful, but most of all because they are the best quality production knives we have ever seen.
The quality of craftsmanship and materials used in the production of Hattori knives is outstanding. And true to the tradition of Japanese art these knives have a "zen" quality. The lines, colors and design are aesthetically beautifully.
Hattori knives show the quality and detail of excellent custom made knives.
