Bell Bowie
| The Historical Bowie Series from CAS Hanwei covers both Bowies
made in different American States and Bowies made in Sheffield
for the American market. Each piece in the series is crafted with
a forged high-carbon steel blade, nickel silver fittings and natural
grip materials, as were the originals. Each sheath is crafted in
top-grain leather and a belt frog, where applicable, is included.
Every effort has been made to replicate accurately the details
of the original pieces, so as to provide heirloom-quality Bowies
to the collector. |
| This is a replication of a Bowie knife made by Samuel Bell. Bell
was a cutler and silversmith first in Knoxville, Tennessee, then
in San Antonio, Texas. He became mayor of Knoxville during his
career and is also known for a pair of silver spurs that he made
for Sam Houston. The original knife still exists in a private collection – it
is large, even by frontier standards, but is beautifully proportioned
and a delight to handle. |
