Knife FAQs
What is a bowie knife?
The term bowie knife is used to refer to a heavy sheath knife with a clip point. This means that the back of the knife curves down either concavely or in a straight line to the tip. Its historical style was popularized by Colonel James "Jim" Bowie in the 1800s.
What is a drop point?
A drop point on a knife blade has a convex curve to the spine. This is in contrast to the concave shape depicted by a clip point.
What are the scales of a knife?
These are the two portions of handle material. They are generally created from wood, plastic, or a composite material and are riveted to the tang. (The tang is the portion of the knife's metal that extends into the handle.)
