SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Bark River Edwin Forrest Bowie Knife in Green is a commanding fixed blade built for those who appreciate traditional Bowie lines paired with modern materials and craftsmanship. Inspired by the iconic knives of the frontier era, this knife delivers the size, balance, and cutting authority expected from a true Bowie while meeting the demands of serious outdoor use. It’s a bold, purpose-driven tool that doesn’t shy away from hard work.
The massive 12.25" trailing point blade is crafted from A2 tool steel, a proven high-carbon steel known for its toughness, edge stability, and excellent cutting performance. A2 is trusted for heavy-duty blades because it resists chipping and holds a strong working edge through demanding tasks. The satin finish gives the blade a clean, professional appearance while reducing glare and showing off the classic Bowie profile. The long trailing point design provides exceptional reach, slicing ability, and a sharp, controllable tip, making it well suited for chopping, clearing, and large cutting tasks in the field.
Full tang construction ensures this knife delivers strength from tip to pommel. At 17" overall and weighing 18.3 ounces, the Edwin Forrest Bowie has a substantial presence in hand, offering the mass and balance needed for powerful cuts without feeling unwieldy. It’s a knife designed to perform when leverage and blade length matter, whether you’re working through heavy material or handling camp and field chores that demand a serious tool.
The handle is made from green canvas micarta, chosen for its durability and secure grip in harsh conditions. Even when wet or dirty, the handle maintains excellent traction and control. The green tone adds a classic, outdoors-ready look that complements the knife’s traditional character while maintaining a professional appearance. The handle’s shaping promotes comfort and confidence, even during extended use.
A leather belt loop sheath is included, offering dependable retention and protection for the blade. The sheath matches the knife’s rugged build and makes carry and storage practical for such a large blade. Whether you’re a collector of classic Bowies or someone who values a powerful fixed blade for outdoor work, this knife stands ready.
The Bark River Edwin Forrest Bowie is a serious knife with deep roots in tradition and the performance to back it up. It’s built to be used, respected, and relied upon.
