The Bowie knife was originally designed in the early 19th century by James Bowie, a famous frontiersman and folk hero of the American West. Bowie knives are designed for heavy-duty use and are known for their durability, strength and versatility.

Graham Clayton (1944-2020) was one of the last makers of Sheffield spring-knives and Bowies. He entered the trade in 1959, aged 15, as an apprentice spring-knife cutler at George Wostenholm. During the latter stages of his career his workshop was at Kelham Island Industrial Museum, where he worked alongside one of the last grinders, Rowland Swinden. He retired in the 1990s.
