Massachusetts Bowie

NEW !!!!!

This historical bowie reproduction is over a foot long and has a one piece grip and guard that are both made of solid brass. This impressive knife is copied from a unique bowie from early America that is featured on page 56 of The Antique Bowie Knife Book (printed in 1990, and one of the first books to showcase a large collection of some of the world’s finest and rarest bowies). 

The original knife was unmarked, but the general opinion among knife scholars is that it was probably made by The Ames Manufacturing Company in Chicopee, Massachusetts, which was a large-scale maker of swords, cannons and cannon balls during the Civil War.

The “fish scale” grip is identical to the 1841 Naval Cutlass, and brass was a rot and rust free material that kept maintenance to a minimum.

This replica comes with a leather sheath that has the same tooled pattern as the original.
