About the practicality of the Bowie knife

Old military bowie knife

"Although it is hardly practical in the current field (wilderness), it has an aspect as a craft that embodies the frontier spirit of the United States and is still actively mass-produced in the United States from a knife maker specializing in knives called a custom knife builder. There is almost always a "bowie knife" category in a representative manufacturer as a standard field knife. It is widely manufactured as a collector's item or interior goods from those assuming practical use. It is used habitually."
