Receiving a carton of Bowies: a buyer's checklist

Shops ordering wholesale Bowie knives can check a sample from each carton rather than every piece. On this 21.3 cm model, these are the points that matter:

  • The brass guard is polished, square to the blade and does not turn when you twist it.
  • The clip point is ground evenly on both faces, with the tip in line with the centre of the blade.
  • The 12.9 cm wood handle sits flush against the guard, with no gap at the joint.
  • The edge looks even from heel to point under a light, without flat spots.
  • Each knife slides fully into its own leather belt case.

Set aside anything that fails and report it with the order number.

Did you know?

Sheffield once made Bowie knives for America

Although the Bowie is an American legend, many of the Bowie knives sold in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century were made in Sheffield, England. Cutlers there produced large clip-point knives for export in great numbers, often etching the blades with patriotic mottoes to appeal to American buyers. Making Bowies for distant markets is an old trade, and this 21.3 cm Pakistan knife carries it on from Sialkot.

How to use

Wearing and drawing a large Bowie safely

With 21.3 cm of blade, this Bowie needs a little method to carry and handle well:

  1. Thread your belt through the loop of the leather case and wear it on your strong side, behind the hip, so it does not dig in when you sit.
  2. To draw, hold the case steady with your other hand and pull the knife straight out along the line of the sheath, edge away from your body.
  3. Grip the 12.9 cm handle with your index finger behind the brass guard, which stops the hand sliding forward.
  4. Let the weight of the blade do the work on wood and rope, cutting away from your legs.
  5. Wipe the blade dry before sliding it back into the case.
