Bowie Knife

My next project

[potobserver]

Crocket spoke of the first time he met bowie in one of his journals.

When Bowie caught crocket looking at his knife, bowie stated, "Colonel, you might tickle a fellow's ribs a long time with this little instrument before you'd make him laugh; and many a time have I seen a man puke at the idea of the point touching the pit of his stomach."

Knives are reliable, and never run empty. A gun might put a half inch hole, but a knife can remove body parts at will.

Has it ever been determined exactly what Bowie was sick with during the siege? I've heard some say it was Typhoid, others Pneumonia, and still other say Turburculosis.

Well, whatever it was, evidently it was so bad that by the time of the battle in which the defenders were slain, it's believed that Bowie was too ill to even lift his head off the pillow, so his death might be characterized more as an execution, than a last stand.

His mother was quoted as saying Jim sat up in bed and took a bunch of Mexicans with him, but then she was his mother, so what would you expect her to say about her son.

You could tickle a Man a long time with that before he’d laugh.

Who needs a knife when you have a fucking short sword?

[edwardrivas]

I carry a Bowie to this day 200 years after the duel

[DavidHarrison-jsji]

That is a stunning knife . More a short sword .

[allopez]

Knives and swords go chiiink in movies.

No matter where I look I can't find a replica of that Bowie knife I gotta have one lol.

[spectermad]

That's not what his knife looked like..its was more of Butcher's knife..the Clip point came latter on...and they got the clip point from Mexican knives...look it up

[stefanklaus]

He had three knifes allways with him Not only one

[andreyche]

And it is nothing like the actual historic bowie knife...

[Goatboysminion]

He's a bit small to be playing Jim Bowie, isn't he?

[hob]

Always liked that knife style from an esthetic point of view, but in a fight that huge blade would be pretty useless.

It´s too short for a sword and too heavy for a knife.

You will lack range and quickness with it.

I would always change a Bowie knife against an ordinary scalpel.

"I don't remember"
the man was blackout drunk wasn't he?

[Junaid_baghdadi_]

What is the name of this kind of bowie?

[jlloydmcs]

I’ve had many rounds at Under-The-Hill in Natchez.

[zyxmyk]

Bowie should go back and trade that in and get a really big knife.

[sir_i.p.freely]

Who can tell me what knife that is I’m not talking about the style of knife I’m talking the company that made it cuz that’s a mean cross guard

[sovietunion]

I love God an Jesus with all my heart,
