Hey, Spots! Interesting Bowie knife video

[JAB]

I found this interesting video on YouTube in which Bowie knives of various styles and time periods from 1820 - 1870 are discussed.  Others will probably enjoy it, as well, but I know that Spots will (if he hasn't already seen it.)

One, really cool part comes at 9:06 or so the gentleman in the video discusses what he calls, "One of the most intriguing and important knives," of its, particular time period - and that knife has a connection to Knoxville, Tennessee.  Beautiful knife, too.

Awesome video. It's amazing when you realize that the bowie knife has went from a large butcher knife to a weapon as detailed and specialized as any bladed weapon on the planet. I do love my bowies, that is for sure.
