Choosing a bowie knife can be a difficult process. There are so many different options from which to choose that it can be quite confusing. You will need to decide if you want a traditional blade, or one of the more modern derivatives. You will need to determine what sort of handle you want, whether you want a full tang or a rattail tang. You will also need to determine what size blade is right for you. The bowie knife is available in sizes ranging from a modest six inches all the way up to more than a foot in length. What's right for you? Let's take a look at what a longer blade offers. Long bladed bowie knives are quite popular with those who simply want an impressive knife for display. They are also popular with those who need a good knife for utilitarian purposes. What might such a knife do? Longer blades are ideal for chopping things, such as light brush or vegetables. They're great for chopping meat, as well. A longer blade gives you greater resilience and greater force, but less control. As an example, the bowie knife has long served as a multipurpose hunting knife. It might be used for trimming down sticks or de-barking trees. It might serve as a fish cleaning tool, or even in skinning a deer, elk or moose that you brought down while hunting. You will find that in order to be useful to you, you will need to opt for a smaller blade in these instances.
Consider the act of cleaning a fish. If you have a 1 and foot blade, it might make cleaning that rainbow trout a bit difficult. The same rule applies to skinning animals. Larger blades are simply harder to control with any precision. Of course, there is the converse of this. If you intend to use your bowie knife for chopping or hacking, then a longer blade is a good thing. The extra length of the blade will help keep your hands clear of whatever it might be that you're chopping. You will also find that longer blades are thicker and hold up to the abuse better. Thicker, longer knife blades are perfect for tasks that do not require precise control, but do require considerable durability and resilience. So, your intended use will determine just how long that bowie knife actually is.
