People always embellishes the facts, It's funny that all of the so called Bowie Knives being sold today are large bladed knives with straight or fancy curled guards. Where in all likelihood, the original Bowie Knife was what today we would consider just a large Butch Knife, nothing fancy about it.

I was at the Williamson auction in S.F. where the Forrest Bowie sold and was allowed to handle it as well as all of the other Bowie knives available. I ended up buying one of knives in the auction. That was a great day.

Very interesting

This has to be one the very, very best displays i have seen. Thank You, Mr. Vines.

I wish I could be that passionate about something.

They are ALL superb!

Do you know what these are knives are worth today?

Very interesting 👍

I believe that is the knife! He did his work and it adds up! Those who, dispute it. Are jealous plain and simple! I have heard every single collector that disputes it give there reasons why its not. And they just sound plain stupid to me. Jealousy is very much a real thing between some collectors! This guy had enough proof that only a idiot would deny it!

What about the Musso Bowie??

Mmmmmm. Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmm. 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌

The Bowie knife was a British creation made to market blades forged in Sheffield, England to people in the Americas.

carved the top as a blade catcher lol. its just a spot for your thumb dude

incredible work on the weight dsitrobution on the knife. I've seen old french chef's knives with similar taper scheme, similar overall shape as well! Looks like a smith upsides an old french made chefs knife

Who is the bud light drinker stalker in the background What a freek

Those California push daggers are cool too.. I thought most push tigers were short like 3 in those suckers are like a long dagger

WOW .. just a fantastic piece of History.. this knife matches the exact description of the knife that jim Bowie's.. brother Reison described that he had the blacksmith make and then gave it to his brother Jim... A single-edged.. straight blade large butcher knife.. no guard no clip point.... I have no doubts that this knife belong to Jim Bowie.. it may or may have not been the original Sandbar knife? but it is most likely an exact copy of the original Sandbar knife

If one wants to see fantastic examples of modern bowies, check out Dawson Knives 'Mountain Man' bowie, 'Redemption' bowie and "Old Mississippi' bowie among the several they make. The art of making exceptional American designed and American made bowies is alive and well.

Wow....this is probably legit. It fits exactly the Rezin Bowie description and the modern designs based on that description..not sure about the Spaniard story apaniards were some of the best knife ever. One thing is sure though. Jim Bowie was killed by a Mexican. Great historical accounts right here....👍👍👍👍💪💪💪

Very interesting stuff

Very cool...

Bark River Knives makes an "homage" "Edwin Forest Bowie" which I have one of and love it. They offer different handle materials, mine I chose micarta a slight upgrade to the original Edwin Forest Bowie. This is not only a beautiful knife but deceptively formidable, and I can see why this might have been carried for self defense, but also easily used in the kitchen as a "breaking knife ".

I have a liberty and union folder just like this small brass pins no markings on the blade and the bone is black. Any information you can give me would be appreciated. Love your channel my friend

This video contains many false and outrageously defamatory statements about my grandfather, Dickie Washer, which are deeply offensive to my family. It is one thing to defame a man who is living and who can defend himself, it is quite another entirely to defame a kind family man no longer living who cannot utter any words in his defence. You are effectively tarnishing the legacy of a man many considered an expert on antiques over the word of two individuals, namely Bill Adams and Jim Taylor, who claim to have known Dickie, but of whom no one who actually knew Dickie has ever heard. I ask you kindly to remove this video from your channel.

How many knives did Bowie have. I personally have 40. and if I give one away then I gave a knife away. You never linked the knife to the sandbar fight. Until you do this Bowie just gave the knife to forest.

Know one Know if he had a knife at the Alamo.

What if it has "hand forged" written on it?

Is there an appraisal, dollar value of this original? Im ALL the way NORTH Central B.C. Canada, and this knife, and Jim Bowie story is famous in CANADA.

That is a really cool collection. Dave seems very knowledgeable and love his collection. Thanks for sharing with us.

Awesome content!!!!

Darryl: what thickness is the blade by the handle? Does it taper to a thinner point? I am wondering if a modern butcher knife would be thick enough to penetrate wool clothing worn in Bowie's day. All dimensions of the blade & handle would be greatly appreciated. I am 71, a lifelong knife collector and have 7 or 8 quality Bowies, but my turkey carving knife most closely resembles the Forrest Bowie shown.

My uncle was a 4th Marine Raider, I loved seeing the Raider knives!!! Thank you. I would love to have a tracing of one.

excellent bit of US history, I pers think there is much genealogy from Spanish Mex blades, your example of ancient blades proves the same in a diff way Bowie is def nothing new, what is new is OLD

not porcupine quills?

Hey Darryl Call me I may make your wish come true as you noted about ciphered knives BK

This knife is not the original alamo knife is it magnetic no an it's in to good of condition

Thank you!

The beven is a great knife.

I just bought a Svord Von tempsky Bowie. Look that guy up, very interesting fellow

The Tee Knife or Push Dagger go back aways ,and that is some of the finest made ,that for sharing although I saw this video a few years back and saw the Pish Dagger was a old design. 🦈💰🦈

2:55 Reminds my of the Hudson Bay style knife blades. Condor Knife &Tool still product that style blade. ⚔️🎖️💰🎖️⚔️

Bowie's knife is somewhere in Mexico LOL

Seems like a very intelligent fellow. Did some good research. A lot better than the provenance of the "Musso knife" for example. Not saying it couldnt be Bowie's, just saying Joe Musso hasnt come up w/ enough to convince me quite yet.

I am so fascinated with bodies, it borders on obsession

I’m wondering what the point of the two ring style was for,just for show? Or was there a certain way that you could hold the knife with them?

THE best vid on knives I’ve ever seen!Un believable, magical, superb, ect..

Ok. I was skeptical about this until about ten minutes in. I now believe that this man is not just sincere, but is in possession of authentic pieces of history. If I had my way, his information and know would make him a celebrity lol

That tomahawk is an ice axe..
