Original Bowie Knife design

I like your version better, Bill.
That pommel needs more round, imo.

This is made from 1/4in thick 5160

How does that compare with the original?

Thanks for sharing the pix of the Forrest Knife (...its the sandbar knife....).

That would also be the Alamo Bowie ?

Very nice work, Bill.
I love historical Bowies.

I like your version Bill, the Forrest knife has always been cool and what I think the original at the sand bar fight would have looked like, a butcher type knife. At least the best candidate for it, as Rezin described the original as being 7 inches, not 12 and straight backed.
