*Handmade/Un-Used* U.S. Made Steve Voorhis Bowie Knife and Leather Sheath. 22493. - 22493 Steve Voorhis Handmade knives from his hometown of Inman, Kansas in the U.S.A. The early history of the Bowie knife is complicated by murky definitions, limited supporting documentation, and conflicting claims. The Bowie knife is not well defined. By the mid-20th century most included some combination of blade length and blade shape. In the mid-19th century, when the popularity of the knife was at its peak, the term was applied to a wide range of blades. Absent a consensus definition, it is impossible to clearly define the origin of the knife. To complicate matters, some American blades that meet the modern definition of the Bowie knife may pre-date Bowie. This beautiful example is 37cm in length with a 24 cm polished blade. The brass-coloured pommel and finger guard envelope the light wooden one-piece grip. A very thick, soft brown leather sheath with integrated belt loop accompanies the knife. Both the knife and sheath are in as new un-used condition and are real quality items. The price includes UK delivery. 22493. £225.00
