How do you know Abraham really existed other than what the Bible said?

The historicity of a literal man named Abraham (or Abram) has not been established, and many secular scholars believe that it is unlikely to be.
However, that said, one can take for granted that some patriarch at some time founded the Jewish nation. And while "the democratic method" cannot seriously apply to a question of fact, it is nonetheless true that the majority of the faithful on Earth belong to the three religions that all acknowledge "Father Abraham".
Indeed, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all characterized as "Abrahamic Religions".
Proof? No. Reason to not dismiss the claim out of hand? Certainly.
Investigations will no doubt continue.
