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).
