    Announcement: Bowie Knives

    We are now offering Boyle and Gamble style Bowie Knives. We will not have a stock on these, but rather make them as orders arise. Price does not include shipping or PayPal fees if you want to pay that way.

    Bowie Knife $175
    Leather Sheath $35
    Tin Sheath $55

    We do have one knife without a sheath in stock and ready to ship. Excellent for those early war events and that guerilla impression!

      Re: Bowie Knives

      These knives are very functional. The blades have been tempered. VERY Sharp blade. I wouldn't chop a tree down with it, but for normal use of of side knife, it will work excellent. I do not have knife at work, but is approximately 12"-14".

          Hi,


          It looks to me to be a reproduction of this knife http://www.angelfire.com/ma4/j_mayo/index.html . It would make a very cool knife for the Georgia Militia at Bummers.

            Mr. Kasmar,

            The image posted by you shows a pretty heavy swell to the handle, as well as a pretty rounded body (also note the brass guard)...these are not features of the model shown above for sale.

              Paul this is the "style" bowie knife. This is on Arizona Sword's website.

              There are a few differences in the original and our reproduction. We are working on the guard at this time.

                  I did see that one too John. There are several styles of Bowie Knives from Boyle and Gamble. We may try to offer more in the future, or if you see one you want, let us know and we'll see if we can make it.

                    Justin that is a nice looking knife plus I like the fact you will offer a tin scabbard. Here is another from oldsouthantiques in past items
