This video is used by permission of Greg Martin. I am thrilled to present this video as one of my all time favorites ever made on the subject. I think I watched this every day for a month when I started my collecting journey.
I carriy my cold steel Trail Master into the woods with me when hunting because Wa State would not allow me to carry a pistol when bow hunting. My first hunting trip with the bow i realized I needed something on my belt for protection against whatever i might encounter. Still have that Bowie knife 30 years later and is a prized possession.
My Father is the one who passed on the tradition of the Big Knife 🔪 and its uses. I carry Two Yankee Slayers daily. Thanks for the video! It's very informative 👌
Such a great video! Thank you so much for sharing! I'll definitely be watching it again, multiple times, and saving it to my favorite video list! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪
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.
@@JuaneDosesII-wj6dd Go home? "They" were alreadyb home. Clay was founder of the modern Progressive movement. He believed in, among other things, Equal rights fegardless of race, religion, sex or etnicity; universa suffrage, including Women's syffrage and manditory, integrated, co-educational free public education and founded Barea College for that purpose. Ge was the man most responcible for the Emancipation Proclamation.
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.👏🇨🇦
They were called "clip' point because the blacksmith clipped a billet of steel off at an angle with a great big shear. When you pound an edge onto the long side, the steel curves up into the typical concave point.
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 :)
