Your original go-to bowie knife retailer, Bladeplay, has rebranded to Grindworx. Nothing has changed with the selection and value of bowie knives with the rebrand.

This week I did a lot of research about different knives that have been produced through the years, and I found out that there are lots of knives out there that are considered to be iconic. […]
Boker Bowie Knives
Boker has been around since the 17th century, so it’s only fitting that the company would make some beautiful, traditional Bowie-style blades. There are a few Boker Bowies that I like in particular—take a look: Boker Luckett Bowie We looked at the Boker Plus Collection 2014 Bowie from Boker, but this is the 2012 […]

To supplement the information you already know, here’s a bit more about clip point blades and their pros and cons. Knowing the pros […]
Cold Steel Bowie Point Machete
In an earlier post, we talked about Cold Steel’s Laredo, Natchez, and Spike, which are some pretty solid blades. Cold Steel makes another Bowie that I like—the Bowie Point Machete. Machetes have always seemed pretty hardcore to me. There’s just something about a massive blade chopping through branches that’s captivating. Bowie knives are typically large […]
Damascus
I wanted to go off the beaten path a little bit today and talk about Damascus steel. Damascus may not make for your traditional Bowie, but it adds a unique look to any knife and it can also add a little variety to your knife collection. Without a doubt, Damascus is one of the […]
