Tip: park in the Bowie Trade Days far parking lot by the pool and the RV park, and then you walk to the knife on the park trail.

The knife was unveiled April 7, 2016. It's 20 feet long, with its deadly point resting on a three-foot-thick cement base. The town spent three years and $170,000 to build the knife out of real stainless steel, brass, and wood. Bowie has already applied to Guinness for a World Record certification.
