Bob's Personal 1960s Fighting Bowie

This Fighting Bowie, crafted by Bob in Louisiana in the 1960s, is an exceptionally rare piece of his early work — one of only two ever made. Its black micarta scales add a bold, period-correct touch, but its true intrigue lies in its counterpart: the only other knife of this design was commissioned by a woman, an uncommon request for the era. This knife isn’t just rare — it’s a tangible slice of Dozier history.

 

Bob's Personal Stag Knife

 

 

 This piece carries a quirk of history that collectors will love: Bob stamped the blade on the “wrong side,” making it an unmistakable outlier among his early work. Bob did not stamp many blades on the left side of the blade. Even more significant, it bears the very first maker’s stamp he ever used—crafted by Henry A. Evers Co. A true one-of-a-kind artifact from the beginning of Bob’s knifemaking journey.

 

Forged in the 1960s, this striking brass double guard captures the rugged elegance of Dozier’s earliest fighting-knife era.
