Nice storyboard about how the knife went from idea to concept to funding to building to being erected. The site could use a restroom.

The World's Largest Bowie Knife is 0.5 miles off the main highway.

Now THAT'S a knife.

My nephews liked this! They have a big sign telling you all about the knife!
[Laura Perez, 03/17/2020]The town of Bowie made sure that this is an easy attraction to approach, except for the rather sharp exit off of the highway. They included a little parking lot, and large signs containing more information than you probably wanted about a big knife. Remember to pose for a picture as if the knife is coming out of your chest for the complete World's Largest Bowie Knife experience.
