Kennedy notes that Bowie's knife (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bowie) had a blade 9+1⁄4 inches (23 cm) long and 1+1⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) wide[26] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowie_knife#cite_note-Kennedy-27) with a cross-guard to protect the user's hands.

I have a smaller version of that, about 8" overall that I used to carry all the time. Still do sometimes but not leaving the house much, it pretty much lives on the dresser.
