Collectors have long been fascinated by the niche these knives have carved into American history. Bowie knives were carried and used by many famous and infamous Americans during a period when this country was undergoing severe growing pains of a small nation becoming great. American frontiersmen, buffalo hunters and soldiers all used these knives as tools of their trade and as a means of protection. Bowie knives were common in the sparsely settled frontier areas, the California gold rush fields, the plains thick with buffalo and the battlefields of the Civil War. Many of these knives are not only treasures for their historical value, but for their great value as pieces of art. VG inc. prices realized in notation on back endpage .
