Bowie Knife Details

The Bowie knife is a fixed-blade knife created by James Black in the early 19th century. Ā This was founded in Arkansas, USA in reference to the legendary Jim Bowie. The Bowie knife is used to describe a wide range of hunting knives, although in common usage the term refers to any large sheath knife with a crossguard and a clip point. Ā The knife pattern is still popular with collectors and hunters. Most modern versions of the Bowie knife a blade length between 6 and 12 inches, with a relatively broad blade with thick steel. The Bowie knife's design makes it the perfect hunting knife for skinning or butchering game. The curved top clip bevel of the blade, when suitably sharpened, may be used to remove the skin from a carcass, while the straight portion of the blade edge, toward the guard, can be used for cutting meat. Ā All Battling Blades Bowie knives are extremely high quality knives, with exceptionally thick steel. These knives are used for hunting or display and are not intended or sold for use as a weapon.

Blade Materials

The knife is made from 1095 steel. Ā 1095 steel is the highest carbon steel commonly used in swords. Ā It has a carbon level of .95% which is one of the highest carbon levels for any type of steel. Ā The most common high carbon swords are 1045 steel which only have .45% carbon content in the steel. Ā 1095 steel is known for its ability to maintain an edge and is an incredibly hard steel. 1095 steel typically has a hardness of 56-58 HRC. Ā Mixing 1095 steel with softer steels creates a perfect hardness and flexibility in the steel.
