bowie knife
A Bowie knife is a large fixed‑blade fighting and utility knife, typically featuring a clipped point, a thick spine, and a pronounced crossguard. Its design balances cutting power with precision, making it effective for both heavy chopping and fine slicing. The blade usually ranges from 8 to 12 inches or 20 to 30 centimeters.
Its name comes from James Bowie, a 19th‑century American frontiersman who used a similar knife in the 1827 Sandbar Fight which made the weapon famous.
Not to be confused with Bowie Knife99, the aggressive opponent AI featured in the game Forza Horizon 6.
