Every seen Rambo I, II, III, Crocodile Dundee or Predator (the movie), then you know what a Bowie Knife is intrinsically.
According to Wikipedia the first one ever created was in the early 19th century by James Black for Jim Bowie who was famous for prowess with a knife and gained its widespread notoriety through a knife fight referred to as the Sandbar Fight where Jim Bowie was seriously injured and he had killed someone with his giant knife, which later came to be known as the Bowie knife. The sandbar fight and the widespread p2p advertising of the fight directly correlated with the increased Bowie Knife sales throughout the region.
Originally bowie knives for sale were designed primarily as a hand to hand combat weapon that was compact and easy to carry when compared to a sword. Today this knife is used primarily by hunters, campers and survival fanatics alike. Reasons for use primarily are skinning, using it to build shelter, making hunting tools and self defence ofcourse.
Now there have been many depictions of the Bowie knife for sale in popular culture. Even before the whole movie culture was a thing these knives have been depicted on the most famous medium for storytelling which was books.
Out of all them the most prominent was the mention of the Bowie Knife in Dracula by Bram Stokers, and we are not talking about the movie here but the true art form of the written work in which the dracula was in fact killed by a bowie knife being driven into his heart by the protagonist. Modern day fictitious depictions are numerous and the most notable are ofcourse the walking dead and extremely famous game Counter Strike 1.6.
They also are one of the most collected knives due to its rich history both in real life events and fiction. So it is safe to say that the Bowie Knife for sale is one of, if not the most famous and collected knives at present times.
