The deadliest knife fighter of the 19th century was supposedly abolitionist Cassius Clay, the Lion f Whitehall. At age 90, around 1900, attacked by four assassins, he killed two of them and held the other two until thev law zrrived. He was better known as a duelist, however. The muzzle of his pistol being his final arguement against slavery. He is believed to have engaged in at least 40 duels.
Hello I got old Bowie with no markings on it at all that I’ve been trying to figure out what it is if I could maybe email some picture think you could help?
Excellent job showing all those beautiful knives. I never get bored of checking out nice lardge bowie blades. Doesn't help my knife obsession though. LOL.👏🇨🇦
I wish I could be there.. Please make a beautiful video of it to share with those who can't be there..... If they put up a good show in 2027..the 200th anniversary of the sandbar fight... I will fly over for it😉👌👌.. Greetings from Holland.
Travis please I know you're going to hate me for this but please please please stop mistreating these objects of unreplaceable historic value and magnificent beauty.
Dear Sir, Apologies I didn't catch your name and what a beautiful knife, sturdy, heavy, proud and imbued with such a deep spirit of Sheffield pride and strength but PLEASE DO NOT HANDLE THE BLADES OR EVEN TOUCH THEM WITH YOUR FINGERS. You should know that the acids in your touch can lead to permanent damage on such a blade. 1840 you put the date making the blade 184 years old. Just a bit of friendly and sincere advice from a English Gentleman (who was born in Sheffield, England) and who has been collecting edged weapons for the past 48 years. Other than that...Instant subscription to your channel and thank you for sharing.
Hi Loving the content. I am a newcomer to Bowie knives and I was wondering if u had any information. Iv got no photos, because I’m blind, but the knife I’m curious about has Wels Fargo inscribed on the blade. Did the company make them for protection of the stage driver, or is it more likely to be a gimmick? Many thanks
All them pretty knives. Mostly because they where probable never used. Give me a plain, well made Bowie knife. 8 to 12 inch blade, out of good steel, and I would be a happy person. Course the only thing its good for is En-huming an opponent. As a hunter, they are all way to big to be practical. And I know this might start a raging debate, but I do not consider a spear point knife, to be a Bowie knife. The Bowie knife must have a clip point blade. At least for me :) Let the argument begin :)
Glorious and outstanding! Thank you for sharing this with us! Always a pleasure to see and listen you talk with such a big heart and passion about these unique time pieces! ❤❤❤
What a beautiful knife,, I'm so envious,, that truly is a work of art,, these Sheffield knives, make me proud to be a Yorkshireman,, thank you so much for showing us this one,, all the best from across the pond,, 👌🔪🔪
I love how ornate these are and I suppose they were dress or show pieces? So people would flash them around in "polite society"? Would they be worn to dinners and fornal events etc? Can't imagine one being worn in the mountains and forests!
Very nice and an unusual display piece. Saw one similar at Bills house in Santa Barbara in the late 80s I believe. Yall got a good one. Dick Bernier ABKA #23
