...are two entirely different things. I watched a Knifing only challenge on Der Riese...and it was proven over and over again that one stab or slash with the Bowie Knife drops a Zombie. At Level 13, two Stabs. He died on that Level, so after that, can't say for sure.
Paired with the Ballistic Knife, if you have the Bowie Knife as well, both will stab a Zombie if you are up in his face. Otherwise, the Bowie Knife will slash.
There is an awesome video of Bowie/Ballistic Knifework up to Level 17/18. Here it is:

This is a case where someone REALLY knows what they are doing--and I would assume is playing on a level where their tactics and weapon usage is far above my current ability. Give it a shot, and post your personal results!
