I think a legal argument could be made that if it's not called Bowie and the state doesn't have a legal description of what a Bowie is then you might be able to argue your way put of it. But I'm no lawyer so my take has been when I'm in states like I am now (visiting Mississippi) that outlaw Bowies by name that I leave them at home and bring my camp knives.

I don't want to be a trial case.

Why do you need more then more then one knife to camp with? OMG I forgot you pick you teeth with one and clean your toe nails with the other one,:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::D

"It is legal to own any knife in Mississippi, unless you are a minor or have been convicted of a felony. Minors and felons may not own bowie, dirk, butcher, or switchblade knifes. You can open carry any knife in Mississippi. You may not conceal carry any bowie, dirk, butcher, of switchblade knife, unless it is concealed in your vehicle and not on your person, or you are fishing, hunting, or participating in some sporting activity in which it is common to use that type of knife."

That still prevents me from carrying a Bowie for self defense.

Edit: Unless I open carried.
