Clarification on the Bowie Knife

I will (knife) fight you over this. Clearly Texas has a a Knife history and culture almost as rich as ours, but the Bowie Knife and the Arkansas Toothpick are inventions of fiery Arkansan pride

Bowie is a Kentuckian so clearly we should get the credit. I mean, let's be honest here, Kentucky has a shit load of badass folk. We've got Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, Husband Kimmel, Franklin Sousley, and more. What do y'all bring to the table?

Truly an american invention... if you're willing to consider a large knive with a clip point an "invention".

It's from Tennessee. Why else would it be killed a Tennessee toothpick?

Who else is going to get a sword cane to walk around with it once just because you can now?

Ohio and West Virginia. We had the Wetzel brothers.

I thought the first Bowie knife was used in some brawl in either Natchez, MS or Vidalia, LA.

The Sandbar Fight, pretty badass story.

Actually, the "Bowie" design hales back to ancient Europe and the middle east. Bowie only added his name to it. Further, the style of knife usually referred to as a Bowie has nothing at all to do with the style of knife James Bowie actually carried, being instead a general Moorish/Spanish/Mexican knock off.

the rest of the posts are biting on bait

I just fucking glad people can finally carry this iconic weapon. Its insane that a ban stayed on the books as long as that (around 150 years).
