Notice how he’s carrying that. Edge up, index finger over the guard. That’s Jim Bowie’s fighting style, and he once killed 3 people in a knife fight that way. But although this style of knife is called a Bowie, it’s not really known what his knife actually looked like. But it was big, and not made of modern 440C.
Right you are...Maybe more like the James Black Bowie or the Tah Chee...
Carbon steel, hand forged...
