Vicksburg 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. |
| The original of this knife, whose blade
carries another version of the “Spanish notch”, was
made in about 1836 by the W. & S. Butcher company, whose growth
was based almost entirely on sales of its products into the American
market. The blade style is indicative of the early production date
of this Bowie and the hilt style became known as a “dogbone” grip
for obvious reasons. |
