Max-
If I'm not mistaken, both knives are identical except for the materials. The Trident is stainless steel with a micarta handle and nylon sheath, while the Bowie is blued steel with a leather handle and leather sheath w/ sharpening stone.
They are very strong, well made knives with sharp, pronounced grind lines; built like the proverbial brick s**t house.
If you are looking for a Trident, I have one up for sale here on BF.
Stay sharp!
