"James Black was the maker of Jim Bowie's knife. This Bowie is based on the last Bowie knife that James Black made. You will find that not only does it excel in the field as a good mid-size Bowie but it also works well in the home kitchen. Bowie knew what he was doing when he bought a James Black knife."

(Master Bladesmith)


The Vintage Bowie is part of our Master Series knife kit line. It is a historic reproduction of a final James Black design for Jim Bowie. This commemoration piece has been painstakingly recreated by National Living Treasure and Master Bladesmith, Jerry Fisk. With the Vintage Bowie knife kit, Jerry has reproduced a highly accurate tribute to the historic James Black final design for knife enthusiasts to build, study, and enjoy. This is an excellent kit for both knife-making hobbyists, as well as for students of knife history. Hunting, kitchen, survival or utility, this is a fantastic daily user knife, as well!
