Massive Bowie Knife

Massive Bowie Knife with Wooden Handle – Haller

Construction and Materials

The dominant feature of the knife is the Clip-Point blade, 26.5 cm long, made of 420 stainless steel. This material is favoured for its high resistance to corrosion and ease of sharpening in field conditions. The blade features a distinct fuller (blood groove), which lightens the construction and increases bending strength. The manufacturer's logo and steel designation are stamped on the blade.

The handle is made of lacquered wood with transverse grooves that imitate stacked rings and ensure a firm grip. The massive S-shaped brass crossguard ensures hand safety, reliably preventing fingers from slipping onto the edge even during forceful thrusts. The handle is finished with a brass pommel featuring a hooked projection, which helps when drawing the knife from the sheath and improves grip during chopping.

Historical Insight: The Legend of Jim Bowie

The Bowie knife became a legend thanks to Colonel James "Jim" Bowie and the famous Sandbar Fight in 1827. Since then, it has become a symbol of the American West. Originally, it served as both a combat knife and a universal survival tool – a chopper, knife, and weapon all in one. This model from Haller faithfully captures the spirit of these historical originals.

Package Contents and Maintenance

You will receive a high-quality cowhide sheath in a light brown colour with the knife. The sheath is stitched, equipped with a belt loop, and features a safety strap with a snap button to prevent the knife from falling out during movement. Although the blade is stainless, we recommend cleaning and occasionally oiling it after use. Treat the leather sheath with beeswax to prevent cracking.
