The bowie knife, made popular in the 1830s, has evolved into a specific form in current use. The bowie knife was worn for defensive purposes; its primary function was for personal combat.
It was designed to be part of a gentleman’s attire, and the key difference between the bowie knife and a hunting knife, or a dagger, initially, is the quality of finish of the bowie. Bowie knives came in a variety of forms, including the coffin handle Bowie knife.
