Trailing Point Bowie Knife Collection — Upswept Skinning Blades
The trailing point bowie knife represents one of the most elegant and functional blade forms in the fixed blade world — an upswept tip that maximizes belly length and makes it one of the finest skinning and fillet-style bowies available. At Divine Knives, our Trailing Point Bowie collection pairs this sophisticated geometry with hand-forged craftsmanship and premium materials to create knives that are as pleasing to the eye as they are capable in the field. Browse our range if you are searching for a quality trailing point bowie knife for hunting, skinning, or display.
The Trailing Point Profile — Maximum Belly for Skinning and Slicing
What sets a trailing point bowie apart is the upswept spine that raises the tip above the centerline of the blade. This design dramatically increases the length of the cutting edge relative to the total blade, giving it an exceptionally long, continuous belly curve — perfect for skinning large animals, making smooth slicing cuts, and detailed camp prep work. Our hand-forged trailing point bowies are crafted from high-carbon and layered Damascus steel, with full-tang construction and natural handle materials including stag antler, ironwood, camel bone, and spalted hardwoods. The elegant, sweeping profile also makes these among our most visually striking collector pieces.
