A True American Edged Weapon: the Bowie Knife

Chris, absolutely magnificently written post on these historic knives!!! You have truly described the mystique of these icons of Americana, and I am really looking forward to seeing examples of others. What fantastic presentation in your examples!!!

I wanted to point out that coincidentally, the current issue of "Man at Arms" magazine has an article, "The Confederate Bowie Knives of Thomas Leech & Co. Memphis Novelty Works" by Josh Phillips (April 2011, Vol.33, #2). I just wanted to add that for those interested in the Bowie.

Thank you so much for posting this!!!

All the best,
Jim
