The Bowie TX Chamber of Commerce doesn't have a specific page for the knife, but as of May 2016, news about the knife was on their main page, and is preserved here. It says:
The Bowie Knife is done!! Bring the Guinness World Records folks to Bowie, Texas? Yes we are! How? We believe we have built the world’s largest Bowie Knife, but we will leave it up to them to be the judge.
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting your name in the world’s most famous record book, this is your chance to do the next best thing!! It’s not too late to have your name or memorial chiseled in granite. We still have tiles in all sizes available… prices for tiles range from $200.00 to $500.00. Want to make a larger contribution? We still have a limited number of benches available for $5,000.00
The idea of the ‘Bowie Knife Monument’ was pitched to the Bowie Chamber of Commerce by the late Bob Hadley, local rancher and bronze sculptor. Board members Bryan Brown and Van Baize are the Bowie Knife Project Committee Chairmen. “This is an exciting addition to our city. We look forward to the completion of the 3-dimensional replica of the Bowie Knife”, says Baize.
