Badass Knife of the Week: Winchester Bowie

April 20, 2015 / Glenn / 1 Comment

If there’s a type of knife that’s more American than the Bowie knife, we’ve yet to find it.

Legend has it that frontiersman James Bowie used his unique knife, which was described as a cross between a butcher knife and a hunting knife, to neutralize his enemies in duels and fights, including the infamous Sandbar Fight in Mississippi.

Since the 1800s, the iconic knife, commonly characterized by its large clip-point blade and crossguard, has become a functional icon that still kicks ass. That’s why the Winchester Bowie is this week’s Badass Knife.
