Bowie Knives – An Introduction

Article Category: Sports

Author Name: Joe Wheeler

Bowie knives are rather large and heavy knives that are usually used by hunters and trappers when they go out into the wilderness to ply their trade. And even though these knives are considered as deadly weapons and is illegal to carry concealed within one's person, it does not affect its popularity and it is still a desirable knife for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike. If you want to know more about the Bowie knife and how it came to be, then you should continue reading this article; and maybe by the end, you may even want to get one of these knives for yourself.

What is A Bowie Knife?

A Bowie knife a large, fixed-blade hunting knife that is no less than six inches in length and a quarter of an inch thick. This knife is characterized by its unique "false edge" and a large quillon, or guard at the top of the hilt. It got its name because it was used by Jim Bowie in the famous "Sandbar Fight" where, despite him getting shot in the leg and impaled using a sword cane, he still managed to fight and kill several of his attackers just using his knife; Jim Bowie did not really help in designing the knife that was henceforth named after him, but he was surely responsible in making famous. If you want a more modern reference of Bowie knives, it is the same kind of knife that is preferred by Crocodile Dundee.

What Can You Use It For?

There are many different uses for Bowie knives, the most popular is as a hunting knife. A Bowie knife is the first choice of avid hunters because the rather long blade gives them plenty of cutting power so that skinning and dressing their catch on the field becomes a whole lot easier than using a smaller knife.
Another use of the Bowie knife is for defending yourself. There are times that just flashing a 12 inch long Bowie knife is enough to scare off most attackers, but you should still get proper training on knife handling and fighting methods first before you even consider using it as a means to protect yourself, otherwise it may be you who will end up badly wounded in the confrontation.

But probably the best use of a Bowie knife is for when you find yourself in a survival situation. These knives are large and heavy enough to allow you to hack at trees and thick branches to construct a shelter, and yet they are easily wielded so that you can use them for delicate jobs like cleaning fish and wild game for your food.

One Last Thing...

Because of its size and menacing nature, there is no doubt that carrying around a Bowie knife in public will get you in trouble with the law, though the magnitude and scope of the penalties depends on your location. So before you buy your own knife, you must brush up on the laws regarding owning and carrying this kind of knife, or else you are looking at steep fines and maybe even some time in jail.
