That brass handled Bowie was made in the South, Georgia or Alabama if I'm not mistaken.

Hello 😊 This Brassbowie has a handle from a French fascine knife. Only minor changes have been made to the hand guard. The blade could also have been re-sharpened from such a knife from the 18th/19th century.

I believe I owned that brass handled Bowie, or one just like it, in the late 60s or very early 70s. Sold it to a fellow in the south. I liver in Ct. at the time. Bob Ables and Norm were my teachers. Dick Bernier ABKA #23

Why are they called "Bowie" knives?

[@leroiprice1586]

Like many shorthand terms the meanings gets obscured and Bowie knife is no exception. Now there is a specific definition of the term Bowie knife which is a large broad blade clip point fighting knife which resembles the one commissioned by James Bowie and supposedly the knife he used in a dual and also carried to the battle of the Alamo where he died as a hero. Or so the story goes. That is the classic definition. However there are knives that were made in the same era with a similar style and they are sometimes called Bowie knives which renders the term somewhat generic. Modern knives with a similar profile are fit to be called Bowie knives as well. But no doubt some people will call any big fearsome looking knife a Bowie knife. James Bowie is a famous historical figure with an extensive past which is quite adventuresome. A central portion of his history is related to this knife and therefore it has become famous as well.

Hello - I've just posted a very brief video showing an unmarked knife which I know to be over 60 years old. I'd be grateful for any information regarding its probable age.
