the bowie knife
James Black, a blacksmith, created the bowie knife for Jim Bowie himself. After Jim died at the alamo, everyone said they wanted "Jim Bowie's knife." So James started to make them behind his leather curtain, keeping the process from everyone, even though on his deathbed he wanted to share the process with a friend, but couldn't remember how he made it. To sum everything up, No. Jim Bowie used the knife that James Black made, and the knife became popular after Bowie's death at the Alamo. Bowie fanatics (including me) love the knives, and feel like it is an amazing part of Texan history. Bowie's heroism caused the knife to become well known across the country, and that is why the name is the "Bowie knife," because it was the knife Jim used the most.
