Bowies were originally intended to be held and used edge up. A little upward off set in the grip allows a more natural alignment for this in a thrust. As the blade enters, the natural navigational course of the holders arm is upward, or away from the entrance thus causing a wider wound rather than just a puncture. A puncture and slash, all in one.
