I've only had one, but, I love them! I really wish there were more out there, but, post what yeh have!

Or what you don't have! Just post pictures of folding bowies!


 
Only picture I have of it at the moment,

There is a Ti slabbed JK Knives friction folder with a clip point iirc. I don't have a picture atm, but I will see if I can dig one up.
 
Darrel Ralph custom AXD

 
Here's a few that (I think) qualify:

The classic Buck 110:


These two old U.S. Schrades are close enough, I think:


Two U.S. Schrade folders:


An old Remington/Camillus locking Toothpick pattern:


Two Camillus BSA knives:

Lots of traditionals have clip points, Barlow, moose, and peanut patterns for example. Show here is a Case Peanut:

Buck 110(lots of different models out there, you can even make your own combo in the Buck custom shop):

Boker Silver Pin 1 and 2(3.75 and 3 inch blades, respectively):

The Cold Steel Voyager, Recon, Code 4, and Espada series all have clip point models in every one of their size categories.

Voyager(5.5, 4, and 3 inch blade models, depending on model, you can get plain edge, combo edge, or full serrated):

Recon 1(available in regular 4 inch and XL 5.5 inch models, combo edge and full serrated models are also available)

Espada(blade length of 3.5, 5.5, or 7.5 inch, available with plain g10 handles or polished g10 with bolsters):

Two clip point Opinels here (modded the blades on the #10 wood burned handle & #8 green handle so they don't count):

When I think of Bowie style folders, I think of SOG. It is one of the things that attracted me to the brand 10 years ago as when I see a bowie.... I think "that's a knife!"
 
The oldest version of the Spyderco Chinook came to mind. Don't have a pic, but a google search brings them up.
 
I suppose the Clip-Point Voyager qualifies as well...

When the OP mentioned "folding Bowies" the first one that came to mind was the XL Voyager. After owning one for a few weeks I now think my Large Voyager seems very reasonable, and almost smallish. Thanks for posting the photos..........................even though reality can't possibly soak in until actually seeing one in person.
 
I love Bowie folders! In fact I found my next knife purchase! Emerson Sheepdog Bowie with wave and flipper! Has a ball bearings too!

Check some reviews first - I haven't heard many positive things from users.


Also, on an unrelated note, this lil' guy is kinda cute:
