A vast selection of Antique Bowie Knives are available online but to appreciate the value of these rare and unique Bowie knives let us try to go back to where these popular items began. It was said that this popular type of hunting knife originated from the Louisiana soil where a man named James Bowie killed a certain Maj. Norris Wright of Alexandria, Louisiana. An excerpt from the Bowie knife history reveals the following: “The origin of the first Bowie knife is now very clear. With this very knife James Bowie killed Maj. Norris Wright of Alexandria, Louisiana in the famous sandbar fight near Natchez, Mississippi on September 19, 1827. The sandbar affair started both James Bowie and the Bowie knife on the road to fame.” From this jumpstart in history the Bowie knife continued to gain immense popularity inviting a lot of hunting enthusiasts to check out the strength, quality and uniqueness of the Bowie knife. There is even a known Antique Bowie Knife Association of America which was formed on April 5, 1975 by 19 collectors who enjoyed sharing their passion for Antique Bowie Knives. The name was changed a short time later to "Antique Bowie Knife Association" or ABKA which has grown into a world-wide organization that is "Dedicated to the collecting, study, and preservation of Antique Bowie Knives".
