That is interesting to find that in this same time period we here in west coast of Finland had also knife figters, they were mean guys and alot of songs and stories about them are preserved. There's still same knife maker family making same knives as in the 1850's and these are highly collectable, you can find these from Les Ristinens books
excellent presentation of one of the best books on the Bowie knife out there...this is a great read by all accounts. Hope to be ordering something from you soon...greetings from Greece!
Bowie knives and knives in general are still very useful even to an untrained person. If it’s well crafted,in the hands of a skilled person it can do many a great things. We as a people have lost our skills that have made us who we are today. However knives 🔪 have been around for millennia and are still here today.
That was the guy Mohammad Ali was named after ,who was a great Bowie Knife fighter , his father named him that because of a famous man that lived in that town. That was Ali first , middle and last name.
The real bowie knife is the Rezin Bowie knife . Probably the closest knife to the sandbar knife is the Schively which resides today in the Old capital museum in Jackson Mississippi .

Looks like an interesting book. I'm very interested Bowie knives
Me too Eli, Me too.

Yup, I think his father was named after the knife fighter (since he was an abolitionist) and Mohammad was a Jr before he changed his name.
@@PhilBaumhardt Yup your right again 😎🏌️ That Ole Knife Fighter was a Bad Moe Foe 4Sho !!
And then he got all swj, and changed his name from an anti=slavery abolitionist, to the muzzie slave traders that sold his family.
I wonder if there's anything about native American knife fighting and fighters. Might be an interesting project.
Check out Robert Redfeather, he is practitioner of apache knife fighting
when i look at the bowie knives, they look like another form of seax to me. they remind me very much of an Anglo-Saxon "broken back" -seax
Some bowies and anglo saxon seaxes have precisely the same blade shape.
@@PhilBaumhardt Exactly, that's what I mean. i think the way of leading the blade in battle will be very similar
Love the channel man new subscriber keep up the great work
I will be buying this book.
I got myself a copy on Amazon this march 2024

The more reliable the firearms the shorter the fighting knife blade. Yehaa from East TN
Just bought it
Love the rune shirt
Good review. Thank you.
Nice👍 perfect for the book collection.
It looks like a great read!
Isn't one of James Bowie's musso bowies in a museum?
Brace backed Bowie is for fighting edge up. Gotta be from the south to know that.
The d guard in the intro, please dm me with a price. Thanks
$350-400. You message on the Blackhearr Forge Etsy webstore if you would like a custom knife: www.etsy.com/shop/blackheartforge
When you said "Cassius Marcellus Clay" I thought "I didn't know Muhammad Ali was a duelist" 😂
.....
3:28 that looks a lot like middle eastern/west Asian fighting knife.
It sure does.
Cold Steel have a blade shape like this if interested, one being the Desperado (discontinued) other being the Vaquero
Great blade
Terrible book
