Was original Bowie Knife made from meteorite?
No. The first knife famously associated with James Bowie (in the Sandbar Fight in the Mississippi) was designed by Bowie's brother Rezin and made from an old file by a blacksmith called Jesse Cleft. Bowie's brother John said that the knife used in that fight was one made for bowie by a blacksmith named Snowden. The most famous Bowie knife was one made for Bowie by James Black, from a wooden model made by Bowie himself. (Information from Wikipedia.) These were all steel knives (in fact it is said that James Black, who kept his technique hidden, had rediscovered the secret of Damascus steel). I can find no mention that any of the knives were made using the material from an iron meteorite, but it seems unlikely, as it would still have to go through the whole process of being converted into steel.

How James Bowie died?
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.
