Death to Traitors 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 Bowie, with a blade etch designed
to appeal to the Union loyalists during the American Civil War,
was made by W. & H. Whitehead in about 1860. Many Northern
troops carried “Death to Traitors” knives, and they
were referred to by Southerners as “Damn Yankee Knives”.
The hilt style of this Bowie became very popular and remained in
common use when the Bowie was shortened and relegated to the role
of a hunting knife. |
