Show me your bowie knives! - Bushcraft USA Forums
网页Nov 25, 2010. #6. In my opinion, the Bowie is the best all round knife. It chops well, slices well, can be batoned, and if you stay in the 5-7" blade range, is no too unwieldy for finer tasks. Also good as a fighter. I've been carrying a Cold Steel Recon Scout for the past 6 years as my main bush knife.
Practical use for the Bowie knife? Any? | Bushcraft USA Forums
网页2020年1月31日 · Bushwhacker. The design most think of as a "Bowie Knife" ("Iron Mistress") is optimized as a weapon.

Marbles Bowie review - Bushcraft USA Forums
网页Apr 27, 2021. #2. This is the MR577 leather stack handle. It came with a leather sheath I will start with that. It is well made double stitched but very thin for a big knife. The biggest fault is the retaining strap is in the center of the sheath and exsposed on the inside so it scrapes the blade when inserted.
