Bowie Knives
The "Bowie" knife name dates back to 1820's-1840's and the Clip point style Bowie knife blade dates back to 1850's. The original Bowie blade type is up for debate, but most enthusiasts & historians agree that it was large blade with a coffin handle. My two modern inexpensive Clip Point Bowie knives are L-R: the SZCO Black Tech Bowie & the Winchester (Gerber) Bowie.
