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 |

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the kind words...  And thank you for the heads-up on the latest Man at Arms issue. I have a couple others I may put up, though as I mentioned in the last post, a vast (vast) majority of my Bowies are post-1900...Best, Chris |
