A large fixed-blade knife with a clip point, named after Jim Bowie.
What it is
The Bowie knife is a large fixed-blade knife, usually with a clip point and a crossguard. It is named after Jim Bowie, a 19th-century American frontiersman, who made the style famous after the Sandbar Fight of 1827.
In your EDC
Full-size Bowies are outdoor and collector knives rather than pocket carry, but their clip-point profile shaped many of the folders you see today.
是什么
鲍伊刀(Bowie knife)是一种大型直刀,通常带削尖刀尖和护手。它以 19 世纪美国边疆人物 Jim Bowie 命名,他在 1827 年的沙洲决斗(Sandbar Fight)后让这种刀型声名大噪。
EDC 中的应用
全尺寸鲍伊刀是户外和收藏用刀,而不是口袋随身刀,但它的削尖刃型影响了今天你看到的许多折刀。
