The Bowie knife was created in the early 1800s for American pioneer James Bowie, who used the knife in the Sandbar Fight of 1827. The design of the knife is ideal for hunting and skinning but became known as a self-defense weapon after James Bowie popularized the knife. Bowie knives are between 12 and 18 inches and have a blade between 5 and 12 inches long.
