Historical Background
The Bowie knife traces its origins to early 19th-century America, where it became a symbol of survival, frontier justice, and rugged utility. Named after American pioneer Jim Bowie, it was originally designed for combat but quickly evolved into a favored tool among hunters and outdoorsmen. This hand-forged Nepalese version honors the legacy with expert craftsmanship and durable materials.
