What a bowie knife is

A bowie knife is a large fixed blade with a long, wide shape. The top edge curves down toward the point, which is called a clip point, and a crossguard sits above the handle to protect the hand.

The style comes from American frontier life, where one knife had to do many jobs. Today people buy them for camping, for display, and for gifts.

Many buyers also like the story behind the shape. A bowie looks good over a fireplace, in a den, or beside a collection of hunting gear, and it is an easy gift for a friend who loves the outdoors.

Five bowies on this page

The United Cutlery Expendables Bowie Knife with Sheath is the movie-inspired pick at $119.97, and it ships with its own sheath. Fans of that film look for exactly this blade.

Gil Hibben is a well-known knife designer, and two of his bowies are here. The United Cutlery Hibben III Bowie Knife costs $109.97, and the United Cutlery Gil Hibben Old West Bowie Knife costs $108.97.

For working use, the Cold Steel Laredo Bowie Knife – SK-5 Carbon Steel Blade is the premium choice at $203.97. If you want to try the style first, the Jungle Master Fixed Blade Tactical Bowie Knife is $26.97.

How to pick yours

Ask whether the knife is for the wall or for the woods. A display bowie can be chosen for its handle and sheath, but a camp bowie should have a blade you can sharpen and a handle that is easy to grip with wet hands.

Carbon steel holds an edge well and is simple to sharpen, but it needs a light coat of oil to resist rust. Stainless needs less care. Check the handle material too, because wood looks classic and synthetic grips last longer outdoors.

Budget is a fair guide. The range here runs from $26.97 to $203.97, and the three United Cutlery knives sit close together in the middle. Spend more when you want a steel you can trust in the field, and spend less when the knife will mostly hang on a wall.

Care and carry

Keep the blade dry, wipe it down after use, and store it in its sheath in a cool, dry spot. Check the local rules where you live before you carry a large fixed blade in public. A leather or nylon sheath keeps the edge protected, so look for a model that includes one. Oil the blade lightly before long storage, and never leave it sealed in a damp leather sheath for weeks.
