Bowie Knives (64)

The Bowie period in American History was a turbulent one. It was born on a sandbar on the Mississippi River near Natchez, Mississippi in 1827. A political duel became a free-for-all. James Bowie, who was an observer at the duel, was shot and stabbed through with a sword cane, but he managed to dispatch his major opponents with a Bowie knife, even though his wounds were so grave that his life hung by a thread for weeks afterwards. The infamous Sandbar Fight, as it was later called, took the imagination of the country by storm. Newspapers far and wide copied the stories from the Natchez papers and soon every man wanted a knife like Bowies - a Bowie knife. American cutlers (many of them surgical instrument makers) and Sheffield, England cutlers began to make Bowie knives to fill the market demand. The Bowie Period only lasted about forty years - from the Sandbar Fight to the end of the Civil War. When pistols became reliable and plentiful the size of the knife shrank. By the 1870s and 1880s, the Bowie knife was used as a hunting knife much more than as a primary defense arm. The Bowie was made in a period of hand labor, the industrial revolution had not touched the cutlery trades. All the work on the old knives was by hand, with an artisans craft skills that were learned during a long apprenticeship to master forgers, grinders and cutlers. We carry popular bowies from manufactures Cold Steel, C.A.S. Iberia and Hanwei. All our bowies are great for hunting, survival, camping as well as collectibles.

Folding Knives (118)

Folding knives make great knives because when they are not in use, you can fold them up and put them into your pocket. Folding knives are safer than traditional knives because once folded you can not cut yourself on the blade. Blades on folding knives are typically no larger than 3 to 5 inches in length and can be used for anything. These knives are generally cheaper than other knifes and are the most commonly carried by the average consumer.

Kukri Knives (43)

The kukri knife is based on a historical Nepalese knife style that was used as both a weapon and a tool, made famous as the weapon of choice used by the Nepalese Army and the Gurkha regiments throughout the world. This traditional weapon is now available in a variety of styles here.

Machetes (160)

A machete is like a large cleaver that is normally used to cut through thick vegetation. If you are a camper or hunter a machete is the perfect tool to cut through that thick forest. We have several types of machetes that are fully functional. We carry Latin machetes, barong machetes, bolo machetes, bowie machetes, and heavy machetes just to name a few of them. Machetes can also be used as an offensive weapon as well as a tool for any activities that you desire.

Push Knives

A push knife also known as a push dagger is a short knife with a "T" handle. The push knife is designed to be grasped in the hand so that the blade protrudes from the front of the fist. The push daggers were used for perforating armour or penetrating chain mail. Push daggers were issued as trench knives during World War I and World War II. The push knives are not only used for fighting and are great for cutting tasks because they have great leverage while using a small blade.

Tantos (61)

The functional tanto is a Japanese dagger, strictly one with a guard and has all of the fittings used on swords. The tanto blades rarely exceed 12 inches in length and usually accompanying a katana. These tantos combine the best attributes of a traditional tanto with modern features that make this an eminently practical tool. The tantos blades are shaped just like the Japanese tantos. All of our Tantos feature a deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and a contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats.

Throwing Knives (108)

Our throwing knives are super sharp that are well balanced so every throw is even. What is great about these knives is that they are such good quality, but are so affordable. Throwing knives are great for self defense when you do not want to get to close to your attacker. Throwing knives are commonly made of a single piece of steel or other material, without handles, unlike other types of knives. The knife has two sections, the blade which is the sharpened half of the knife and the grip which is not sharpened. The purpose of the grip is to allow the knife to be safely handled by the user and also to balance the weight of the blade.

World War Knives (9)

We now have world war knives that are authentically detailed and fully functional. These knives are made for military collectors and WWII re-enactors. We have German trench knives and daggers that are made by CAS Iberia and Windlass. World War II knives come with a sheath and are very affordable. These trench knives are intended for close quarter fighting whether on the field or in the trenches. The trench knife originated during the first World War.

Knife Displays (5)

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly knives make for great collectibles. Just like with any sort of weapon, there are dozens of different types and variations, simply because in todays society, there are millions, if not billions of people, all of whom want a knife to suit their needs and tastes. This means that there are literally millions of knives that likely exist to suit each and every need perfectly. And just like any great collectible, there has to be a manner to display it properly, because leaving a bunch of knives to sit around is not properly displaying a collection. Thankfully, we offer a fantastic assortment knife displays that are great for displaying your knife collection. This much is doubly true even if you are not, technically, a collector; if you just have a lot of knives, then many of our knife displays are still right for you. In fact, our display boxes are almost perfect for you; you can store your knives away from unwanted use and abuse, and take them out only when you have need of them. Another plus is that if you put your knives into a display box, you will always know where they are.

Collectible knives - who would have thought? We did, which is why we offer so many different knife displays.

Knife Sheaths (11)

Sheaths are a great accessory to add to almost any knife; not only do they add protection to the knife in question but they are also fantastic visual accessories in their own right. Its not uncommon, in fact, for a knifes sheath to be just as attractive the knife itself is especially when you consider that more often than not, the knife sheath is the first part of the knife you see. We carry an assortment of knife sheaths, many of which are great for storing all sorts of folding knives. Of course each and every one of our knife sheaths is functional, and each one is also an extremely handsome item as well. They are masterfully stitched around the edges, and serve more than adequately when used to store and secure any folding knife. Several of our knife sheaths are general purpose; so long as the sheath is the appropriate size, your knives will fit. A few of our knife sheaths, though, are rather specific in design and fit only a specific shape. So if you are going to acquire one of our tasteful knife sheaths, make sure you double-check your measurements and your knives to ensure that you get the exact sheath you, and your knives, need.
