Title says it all. Ive been reading about hudson bay knfe and i really think it deserves to be an A list star. It was around alot longer and used by more hardmen than 'Bowie' knives yet gets little press. Just sayin.
Actually you could say that the hudson bay is a bowie since what is thought of as the bowie today really is not, so anything is really a bowie. confusing right
That's it! From now on I'm referring to my Kershaw Leek as a Bowie!!!

If you want to see the pattern come back, get companies into it. :cough:Cold Steel:cough:.
Could not agree more. Really your large choppers now are really MUCH more Hudson Bay variants that Bowie variants. Hudson Bay style knives go just as far back, and were purpose built and used exactly for what people use their large/camp/chopper knives for today.
Bowies are fighters, not camp knives.

Great post.
But, but, but, wasn't the original Sandbar fight Bowie a camp knife, that was used for a fight? So if the hudson is a camp knife and we know that bowie used a camp knife in a fight and we call it a bowie, isn't the hudson a bowie?
Rezin Bowie seems to be the guy that had his wheels turning because of his brother's doings and started playing around with adding a guard to a butcher knife.
Don't you start, Mr SmartyPants.
The hudson bay is a chopper but it has a clip and a point so i believe even though no guard the choil stops hand from getting cut so it can be used for self defence. I bet the sandbar knife looked alot more like a hudson bay then a bowie style
In the modern world, carrying around a big honkin knife in the woods are at "camp" is a PITA, that's why Hudson Bay knives are not popular anymore. I carried a big bowie when camping as a boy and it was not practical.
