It's a simple damned question lol. They obviously weren't shy of doing so with the badass knife in your original post. It's completely irrelevant. Whether a knife is a Bowie has nothing to do with what a manufacturer says. That's just silly. You go by its traits.

Would you go by that or by what its traits actually indicate?

What we think of nowadays doesn’t look much like one of Rezin Bowie’s original on display at the Alamo. Kaywoodie posted a picture of one of his original Sheffield models on another thread the other day. Much more like what the original was probably like. Maybe he’ll post it again. I have now and have owned many other “Bowie” knifes over the years. From Randall’s to the Case like TRH showed a photo of over the years. And several Custom’s by well known makers. My favorites??? Probably this one by Cold Steel. The Natchez model and the “best bang for the buck” : https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/1...d354344276&utm_term=4584619899167985 Also llike the SOG Special Forces Version Super Bowie for general use / camping / hiking : https://www.opticsplanet.com/sog-su...clid=17141850459610523487416891127008005 Ole Jim Bowie would probably be envious of all the available options in todays knife market. 😬 Last edited by chlinstructor; 04/26/24.

I wish I hadn't traded my Randall camping knife, years ago, for a mint S&W Model 18. I like the 18, but still wish I had the knife. And I bet the Randall was the better part of that bargain.

The Kodiak is on the small side for the designation, but most recognize it as a Bowie in general type, to include The Knife Center.

They were made with good steel, get realy sharp. Iv got a couple of them. Some reason the sheaths are hard to find. Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!
