The Antique Bowie Knife Association of America was formed April 5, 1975 by 19 collectors who enjoyed sharing their passion for Antique Bowie Knives. The name was changed a short time later to "Antique Bowie Knife Association". Since then, the ABKA has grown into a world-wide organization that is "Dedicated to the collecting, study, and preservation of Antique Bowie Knives".

Membership is open to persons over 21 years of age and is by invitation. If you are interested in our organization, we suggest visting with one of our members at a knife show near you, or inquire at one of our 2003 meetings.
