The Bowie knife is an oversized, double edged knife of very sturdy build. It was designed by James Bowie himself, but he had a well-known knife maker fabricate it for him. He was expert with it, and by word-of-mouth became associated with it. Bowie died at the Alamo. Legend and Crocodile Dundee movies are largely behind it's appeal; it is actually a heavy and ungainly knife for use in the woods or conventional hunting situations.
