Tod Cutler Bowie fixed blade knife

Tod Cutler Bowie 

This hand made, reproduction, 19thC Bowie knife is based on those exported in vast

numbers from Sheffield to the US and was the must have knife associated with Jim

Bowie.

The origins of the knife and who designed it are not clear, but it seems that Jim Bowie

used a knife similar to this in a famous fight in 1827 that was written up in news papers

and so the legend was born and the "Bowie" knife became a required item for frontiers

men, adventurers and the rough and tough of the US through the American Civil War

and on to the early 20thC.There is no fixed design for the knife, but ours follow set precedents of a thick and

substantial blade, clipped point with false edge and an S shaped quillon guard.

Blade length 9"/23cm

Blade width 1.5"/4cm at widest point

Overall length 14"/35cm
