Bowie is a specific shape omg this is a knife blog and I keep getting questions on shape and what’s a Bowie ?
Lol forget I asked
For a general woods or woodscraft knife, I think this design is more flexible than a classic bowie blade. Still pointy enough for stuff but the point is a little stronger than a classic bowie pattern. There are many knives made with this shape and it's probably my favorite shape for a general wood or do it all knife.You might want to check this one out made from some pretty tough stuff and not too costly with a bowie type blade.

Noomg this is a knife blog
CLS is my favorite brand really brings out my lines
That was worth the click
I wasn't familiar with that brand so I had to look it up...

It looks like your more interested in a production style (full tang) clipped blade or rather a somewhat ~ bowie influenced fixed blade knife but if you like Dark Timber Custom Knives I think you might want to check out the Sobral Brothers: CAS Knives. Three brothers from Argentina who work together producing custom knives.
CAS Shadow... ~5" blade ~4.5" handle:

Gorgeous knives but not wanting to spend that for an user in the woods but thank you very much love lookingCustom knives made by "top class" makers will as "CardiB" might rap in one of her songs require spending some "dollas" $$$
Some pricing for CAS knives here just to give you a ballpark idea...

I checked them out busse there average “Bowie” knife runs 400 dollar range and the use basic stainless steel for most of there blades. Cheap steel expensive blade. Esse costs less than half of that with similar steel I don’t mind if it whereone of the super steels but no wonder they replace if broken. That’s a crazy price for that to be honest. Lionsteel makes a great Bowie with super steel for half the price. Hinderer uses 3v. But stainless steel for 400 bucks no thanks that’s nutsThis is my personal idea of a "Bowie Knife" made by Busse. It is worth EVERY penny because if it breaks (which it won't ever break), Jerry Busse will 100% replace it for free for life.
They have proven the quality of their knives for years. A true outdoors person will buy one of those knives and bet their lives on it.
CPK
3V blade
Not a Bowie but as good a bushcraft knife your going to find
A variety of blade lengths to suit about anyone
And available from our own BF craftsman

This is also a very great suggestion!
Another vote for a CPK, should you look beyond the Bowie.You're welcome!
This^
For what the op wants, besides whatever a Bowie means, can't be beat.
