Description
For those who are looking for the style of the SOG Bowie with a modern treatment look no further than the Tech Bowie. The Tech Bowie has morphed into a top-notch work knife with the use of modern technology and materials. All the metal parts and including the blade crossguard and pommel are hardcased black TiNi coated. The tactile Kraton rubble handle give a contemporary touch to the traditional leather washers. The thick (0.24") AUS-8 blade is topped off the same blade grind as the SOG Bowie. The sculpted crossguard deep hollow grinds and precision detailing and faceted tip are unmistakable signatures of SOG.

The history
The Bowie knife is the great American fighting blade of the nineteenth century: a heavy sheath knife, typically with a clipped point and a blade of eight inches or more, named for James Bowie and made famous by the 1827 Sandbar Fight, where a wounded Bowie killed his attacker with his big butcher-style knife. Within a decade Sheffield's cutlers were shipping Bowies to America by the crate, and the knife had become sidearm, tool, and legend across the frontier.
