William Rodgers Bowie Knife

Vintage William Rodgers Bowie Knife

A Vintage William Rodgers Bowie knife combines classic Sheffield character with traditional, purposeful construction. Its six-inch clip-point blade follows the established Bowie profile, while the hollow grind creates clean, refined geometry. Full-tang construction adds strength, and two robust brass rivets secure the wooden handle slabs.

Traditional Sheffield Details

The brass cross guard complements the timber scales and gives the knife a strong period appearance. Meanwhile, faint blade markings read “William Rodgers, Sheffield, England,” with “Bowie Knife” engraved along the blade. These surviving details add collector interest while preserving the knife’s honest vintage character.
