what makes a Bowie.. a Bowie?

[Camo-omega]

I've seen lots of different blade designs and handle material and I'm wondering what exactly constitutes a bowie knife?

Now there's an interesting question...

Subscibing to this thread and waiting for Bowie experts to chime in!

Kind regards,

Jos

Use the search function... I believe this has been hotly debated quite a number of times.

depends on who you are. Six guys can all make a ' 10" clip point bowie knife" and they will all be very different
, but true to the makers interpretation.
