When people believe Jim Bowie only had one Knife 😂 !!!! He literally had dozens of Long knives , at least 20 blacksmiths asked Jim to carry their blades for business and reputation status ! I believe there are atleast 5 Jim blades circulating !

In a knife fight bigger is better

2lbs seems too heavy for a fighting knife. Good short swords with 26" blades are under 3/bs.

The shape of the knife is very nice to look at. It looks similar to the Musso Bowie by Knives By Hand. That had a 1/4 inch blade. For a fighting knife, it could start at 1/4" at the hilt, but tapper down to the point. A short sword would have the same distal taper. It prrobably tapers from the back of the blade to the edge.

Do you have a video of what Bowie knife you recommend? Also what blade length do you recommend?

An article in "Muzzleloader " magazine said that it was carried by a family member in the Korean War.

Go out in the woods wearing that knife on your hip and you'll walk in a big circle. Did any of the 4 similar knives you mentioned have an original sheath?

@cptsmkwgn Жыл бұрын

Does this knife (& did the original) have a distal taper, or is it the same thickness along the length of the spine? How thick is it?

Snap cutting is the traditional method of cutting with Khukuri, Katthi, Parang, Indian style trailing style cleavers etc. Other methods include draw slicing, push slicing, stabbing, snap thrusting etc. 🙂

This works fine when the adversary lunges with an equally long weapon. The idea is that you slip out of the line of attack and counterattack at the same time. Even if he tries multiple stabs he would have to change direction. So the idea is not to move too early. I was often successful with this move in sparring with various types of people. My main styles are Italian stiletto and simplified FMA. We normally use stiletto trainers of 40 to 45 cm length.

One important thing about the clip point that you arementioning: In "the old days" the navaja would have "contrafilo" - the clip point would be sharpened on both sides. I have no idea if this was the case also with the Bowie, not it was common for a long time that Italian, Spanish, and French folders had a few cm of double edge.

Funny. This guy should watch actual knife attack videos. Things happen so fast and are so erratic that many, many stabs happen in seconds. This attacks are never predictable and if it’s an actual 1vs1 fight, both get cut. If needed for self defense, get distance and try to get some big object as protection to try to remove the knife from the attacker, or better yet, run.

It's a blade catcher. You could catch a blade and flip it out of there hands.

Sir you are clueless. The brass fleshing banner on the top of a bowie knife is there for fleshing skins and pelts of thinner skinned animals. The reason the XL Bowie knife was so popular with trappers and those adventures who needed a knife to not only clear brush, defend you against wildlife but also double as a fleshing tool in trapping because unlike today where we can carry many knives to flesh our trapped animal pelts. You could not carry that many specialty knives in those situations. So the XL Bowie was created. Not for fighting like everyone thinks today but for trappers to use to brush trails. Set foothold traps and scrape the flesh of the skins all at the same time. Trappers today still use a style of bowie that uses this brass Banner on the back of the knife for Beaver fleshing as well as Muskrat.

Buen vídeo👍. Hay registros en España del uso de navajas en el siglo XVI. En esa época armas como espadas y sables tenían reservado su uso para la clase noble y la milicia. Los campesinos necesitaban defenderse con un instrumento igual de eficaz pero de fácil ocultación, ligera y letal, así se extendió el uso popular de navajas de diferentes tamaños entre el pueblo. Son muy famosas las navajas de Albacete y el mejor acero del mundo es el toledano. No se ha conseguido superar la calidad del acero de Toledo. Un saludo desde España. Fuerza y honor.

What spoils it for me is this blasted micarta stuff! If it wasn't invented until 1912, how could it possibly be on a knife supposedly of the 1840s? Surely it MUST have a beautiful hardwood handle?

I disagree about the backstrap, I think it WAS a blade catcher! If you were actually in a knife fight, you would want every protection you could get! I know I would?

Thank you for showing me what this technique looked like because I had bought Dwight Mclemore's book and was having trouble seeing what it looked like... This technique is really effective if you get out of line with your opponent's cut line. And it is very vicious...

@jamesdolan5236 2 жыл бұрын

A few of things about using a bowie if I may. Something not often talked about is that with a knife this big in a scabbard, you would use a nice wide, thick leather belt, much like a prototype sailor of the period would have worn. It would have made carrying such a heavy weapon more comfortable. Next, most fighters of the period would use the knife with the cutting edge upward, and the false edge down. With this in mind the brass on the top of the blade could be used to parry, or could be used as a skull crusher. Any cut with a weapon of this size would be very close to lethal, but a back cut, aka comma cut with this weapon would "keel".
