Typical for a Texan to get it wrong about the Bowie knife. The first Bowie knife was made in Washington, Arkansas by James Black for James Bowie BEFORE the Texas Revolution. Most of the intitial planning for the liberation of Texas was done in Washington, ARKANSAS which was the meeting place for the leaders of the Revolution.
As for a personal choice and opinion, I would rather have an Arkansaw Toothpick over a Bowie in any knife fight. BUT, I might be just a little prejudiced, you think?

Who paid nearly $300,000 for a historic Bowie knife? A Dallasite but he's not talking
The sale of this historic blade got a lot of press here in the Los Angeles area, as the
sale was made out here.
I was mildly pleased that the television news reporters gave due respect to the
historicity (that's a word, isn't it?) of the blade.
(Usually California, especially the Democrats/Liberal rag constantly on Texas as
the black hole of America...guess they are realizing their state budget crisis is more
due to their own idiocy...not the machinations of some energy companies in flyover country.)
