Bowie
knives are always appreciated by hunters, knife collectors
and outdoorsmen because they are tough and reliable. Designed by the great
James Bowie, this knife has a very simple architecture of a fixed blade. The
pattern of this knife is still popular and many of the manufacturing companies
are making custom
made bowie knives with different kinds of variations.
The simple bowie knife consists of the following
parts: - guard, handle, tip, forefinger ring (nor present in all bowie), blade
(made up of either steel or carbon), edge.
The handmade bowie knives are made using all
traditional methods which were followed in earlier times especially for knife
collectors.
