Yeah' Bowie's are illegal to carry on your person in Texas, and you can't have one in the passenger seat of your car, apparently Texas law classifies any knife over five inches long as illegal, (which of course covers most Bowie knives) although that doesn't stop them from being sold over here at gun & knife shows around the state.
@bamnmetal Yeah, it seems like I was wrong though about it being absolutely forbidden to have a Bowie in your car in Texas. The exceptions for Bowie carrying according to 'Texas Health Saftey & Morals 46.02' are quote
"Exceptions: Official actor was own premises; was traveling; engaged in lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity; security guard."
So if you're out in the country going hunting and you have a Bowie in your car trunk you're probably okay. Just not on your person.
@bamnmetal This is from the 'Contreras V State' ruling from 1993 in Texas Weapon laws quote "The statute requires only a particular form of (weapon) possession: carrying on or about the person. which includes, in our modern view, the interior of ones vehicle. Under the statutes and the case law interpreting the statutes it is illegal to carry a pistol club or illegal knife on your person or generally inside the passenger compartment of your vehicle including the glove compartment
@rock4ever38 It is a beautiful knife. If you are interested give them a call and see if they can do anything for you. They are great people at Willeys. If you call ask for Gerri and she can help you with any questions you may have.
@Strutingeagle Yes it would be classified as an Illegal Assault Shovel and you would have to register it with the ATF. That would probably also come with a 4 month waiting period before you could pick it up! haha
Thanks for the video edgedweapon88. I thought all of these were long gone. I called Willey Knifes and serial number 99 of 100 is on it's way. Very nice people at Willey's. Makes me wish I lived closer to NH so I could visit them. When you se them tell them you sold SN 99 of 100. Oh, I chose that number, there are many more knives left.
Texas is also where a lot of book pressing and printing is done and their history books barely cover the Alamo and U.S.history in it's entirety which is wrong this country has kissed enough foreign butt now and enough is enough;nice knife by the way and U.S. made at that,something made here has become rare and that's sad.
Beautiful knife!Texas must be trying to be retarded like N.Y. and C.A. now;hey can't have a Bowie knife but drink up,cross the border illegally and shoot black market guns yeah that makes sense.
wait r they just illegal in texas cuz i live in IA and they sell them here but i also bought a switchblade here but they r illegal in IA so ya sorry if its confuzing
Is the technical definition of a bowie knife one with a blade over 5.5 inches? Because I looked up law ebladestore and it says "Texas - Health, Safety & Morals - 46.02. Unlawful carrying (6) "Illegal knife" means a: (A) knife with a blade over five and one-half inches;" I left some text out to make it fit. Maybe some officers would arrest people because it was a bowie knife even if it was legal like some do for knives that look manevelent (profiling) -Vincent
Texas knife laws are a fucking joke! I can get a permit(wich shouldnt be necessary under the constitution) to carry a firearm but I cant carry a knife that is over 51/2 inches even with the permit.These laws arent there to protect enyone,there there as a means to harrass citizens and the lawmakers who wrote them should be tried for treason!
It's too bad that all of our constitutional rights are disappearing. People should not be made out to be criminals for carrying a weapon to protect their families and selves. It's absolutely pathetic! The only people disarmed by these laws are those who abide by the laws. The lawmakers that concocted these laws are traitors by their action of disassembling the constitution.

@Mr45Bullitt Thanks Bill I appreciate you watching. If they don't have anything on their site you might have to call for information. I am not sure if they have updated it yet. I hope all is well!
Did you feel like a museum curator while handeling that awesome knife? What a chunk of steel. It was hard to tell, was the finger guard made of brass?
@ud45 Yea I was trying to be extremely careful when I was touching it! The guard I believe is made from the same polished steel that the blade is. Thank you for watching!
@RDPproject My best guess would be because of its length and history. The Bowie knife has a notorious record of being used for illegal activity and violence. Most of that record comes from the late 1800's and early 1900's but unfortunately it still stand today.
@Knifemaster464 Thanks for the input. Why would Texas make a Bowie illegal if it has a swedge that is able to be sharpened when there are plenty of other knives like that out there. Is any knife with a swedge that can be sharpened illegal in Texas?
@Knifemaster464 Wow thank you for the information. I was unaware that Texas had that law. In VA where I live you are able to carry any sized knife with multiple edges.
@edgedweapon88 Only openly though. I'm pretty sure concealing daggers and bowies is illegal in VA too. Mostly all fixed blades, unless you want to be a legal guinea pig. They prob wouldn't give you a hard time about most tiny neck knives, especially if you "un-conceal" them if given the chance, but the law specifically mentions dirks and bowies.
@wcropp1 Yes concealing daggers and bowies is illegal in VA. I only carry a fixed blade openly.. never concealed because like you said I would be at the mercy of the court.
send it back i see a line running down the blade and the bowie was made in sheffield uk the place where i workt

This applies even though the weapon is taken apart or unloaded. If you need to transport a handgun you may do so in the trunk of a vehicle."
So if you're down in the lone star state just remember, Bowie Knife in your car trunk, good.
Bowie Knife clipped to your belt out on an open neighborhood street, get ready to get tazed or shot by the police.
