All I can say is holy shit, and thank you! I can’t tell you how honored I am and how my heart swelled up to be mentioned in this video. Thank you Zach from the bottom of my heart you just made my Christmas.
Great to hear from you! You’re definitely carrying that torch👊
You have incredible passion for knives, and it shows in your work!
Pls let me come apprentice you, I lost my restaurant from the coof, I’ve always wanted to be a bladesmith
Do we know where J. Bowie's gravesite is??
Trying really hard to find one of the knives he shows from you 21:26!!
I retired in 2008 and I carried a Buck 120 for four deployments in Iraq and one deployment in Afghanistan. I left it with a young Spec-4 on my last deployment and he has had it for fourteen years and it is still going strong. Thank you for the story.
Thank you for your service.
@@davidrichter9164 l
I carried a K-Bar from '85-'93.
I could never get the hang of sharpening a Buck knife , my favorites are my K bar and my tops both carbon 1095 easy to bring to a razor sharp finish.
Bet that knife went to hell and back, would love to hear it tell a story, also thank you for your sacrifice
My father carried a Case Bowie in Italy (WW2) in the 339TH Infantry. I still have it. It, and he, went through a lot together. Precious heirloom.
That's crazy I have my grandpa's ❤
Heh, those were the Ka-Bar knock offs that the troops hated.
Perhaps a Collins #18/V44 ?
so your old man is 110 years old ?
Made my first Bowie knife in 1990, carry it in the woods all the time , while living in Alaska a friend and I got caught out hunting when a cold front moved in and the temp dropped to -80. I used that knife to cut up a six inch birch tree and split it to make a life saving fire. It has since been carried with me every year, Including while in the Army. It is at this moment on a pistol belt slung over a kitchen chair. It will go to my oldest son who was born in Alaska. At the time I made it, I also made a small piggy back knife for the same sheath, I lit count on how many moose, caribou, bear, deer, elk and beef that thing has skinned. The Bowie is more useful and lighter then carrying a small ax or hawk. Great video.
BS 😂
@@GuitarGuy650 that's opinion, I wasn't the only one their. I also spent a few weeks in the hospital, because of frost bite.
Just as a note of clarification, the knife Jim Bowie carried at The Sandbar fight was not his Bowie knife, it was a butcher / hunting knife loan to him by his brother. The Bowie knife as has come to be known, was not made for a considerably time after The Sandbar fight. This came from Rezin Bowie himself in a letter of complaint to a news paper that had misrepresented the knife and his then dead brother.
Lies
@@joedoe8655You calling second hand information on both sides of the stories lies. How dare you!
Anybody else think that Zac would be really good at making documentaries
We think this is a pretty good one😁
@@zacinthewild it's marvelous
Next History Channel victim eh? 🤣
@@alpine1600s if he adds more ancient aliens.
Absolutely! This was amazing!!!
This is by far the most underrated CZcams channel I've ever seen it's such high quality and professional material
Jamie does a great job making it look so dang good!
@@zacinthewild you give him good stuff to work with lad, don't sell yourself short
100% agree
Jim Bowei's brother described the knife in his book. He took an 1832 butchers knife, had a French clip cut into the end and used a Spanish infantry mans guard placed at the base of the blade. Most Bowei knives I see today have a Texas clip and standard flat guards and most are way to wide.
Why the umbrage my boi?
THATS RIGHT EVERY KNIFE IS A BOWIE KNIFE, ALL MARKETING BS
I've been a hobby knifemaker for 18 years. My favorite projects are always Bowies. I like to imagine being a blacksmith in the 1830s or 1840s at the edge of the frontier, trying to put my spin on the 'Bowie Knife" for spendy pioneers heading west to find fortune. A current project is to imagine what an 'Idaho Style Bowie' might have looked if one had ever materialized during the great western migration. Thanks for the video!
Do you take commission work? I'd love a custom Bowie
If you are smith, then try to do a Damascus steel.
Could you imagine how sharp the guys knives were that he could widdle on hickory for an hour and still shave hair.
Great work Zach and crew. The quality of your videos from script, to lighting, transitions & effects, etc is getting better and better. Not your average knife channel.
This one was a beast but definitely opened a new level for us🤘
It's good except for the one-word-at-a-time thingie that pops up when you want o emphasis something. Just put the entire sentence into one panel, please.
@@cocokolah8567 I like it. To each their own.
Constructive criticism: lose the background noise!
The subject & your narration of it is great. The addition of distracting, annoying music ruined the vid for me.
As a german guy I can say I´m a proud owner of an original BOWIE KNIFE!
Some say in hard times like these cold steel is your best (only?!)friend...-
Well,could be true...! 🤔
Thank you. This was the best description of the Bowie knife I've ever seen! Since I read David Crockett a Bowie knife seemed magic to me and I drool a bit every time I see one.
40 years later when going on solo kayaking expeditions in Greenland and New Zealand I looked at Bowie knives but opted for a more humble solution.
I settled for a short dive knife for protection in case I got caught in a fishing net, a Swedish Morakniv Basic (stainless steel) for general outdoor activities and a Victorinox Swiss Army Spartan for a lot of reasons. It worked nicely and only set me back $35 ($21+$7+$7).
In New Zealand I replaced the Morakniv with a $7 Czech scout dagger with a sawback.
I've never ever needed my most expensive knife - the dive knife - but it's always ready. The other $7 knifes are used a lot and they have served me well. I always bring a small sharpening stone on my trips; but I've only used it at home. Modern knives are often made of high quality steel. I still dream about that big David Crockett Bowie knife. The problem is, that I don't need it. Sigh.
Great video! As a native Texan and lifetime knife enthusiast, the classic Bowie will always hold a special place in my heart.
Oh, Bowie knives are great. I have a 10 1/2 inch Bowie with an antler handle and it's a great piece of functional art.
As an european i absolutely adore bowie knives, they are so perfect.
Fantastic video. It's a privilege to see our knives in the company of other incredible knives and knife makers. Several of us here learned a lot, and we're looking forward to more videos like this!
One of your pocket knives saved my life thanks for building a excellent knife buck
You guys should be verified!
over 40 plus years i have owned at least 10 x 110's, i'd wear them things plum out in the oilfields and on drilling rigs, if Buck company only knew what we would put them through they simply wouldn't believe it was possible a knife could stand that much torture and abuse and still keep working
i'll even add this, i'd see roughnecks bring out a cheap knife and it would hold up even a couple days "to do this job i'm describing you had to have a good knife everyday to do your job" i'd laugh at them and tell them "go buy a damn Buck 110 and be done with it man"
anyway i'd thought i'd share this
"because, it's true'
Buck knives have saved my hide multiple times
Fascinating, and gorgeously presented! Thank you!
My father has passed but he handed me a buck 119 special that was so hard that I couldn’t sharpen it with the coarsest oil stone we had at the time. That knife is still in a display case at my mother’s house. Buck knives are my introduction to the hobby of the “knife craze” in my life. I don’t think I could ever spend the money on a Chris Reeve or a Hinderer and especially any custom variant but I will always be proud of the buck knives!
a bowie is still what i carry into the woods to cover unexpected and expected problems, if i want to split wood or if a wild animal got the drop on me away from my firearm the big chunk of clip pointed steel is gonna be my talisman to get me home again.
Just a reminder that the Bowie is an EXCELLENT hard working large game butchering and skinning knife. I have used mine for elk and buck. The long blade makes certain large cuts (such as a hind leg removal) far less work than a smaller knife. And when packing out bloody quarters in the dusk in bear country, it is comforting to have a Bowie on your belt. I have used mine to cut brush and split firewood, too, and these jobs are in the province of a large heavy blade, not some cutesy art piece. The Bowie still has a solid place in the hunter's/outdoorsman's world, and likely will forever.
Why is there such a long wait to get one ??
Probably the best discussion about Bowie knives I've seen. Well, researched!
Amazing presentation. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing this history of the much loved and revered Bowie Knife. Bravo.
Zac you and Jamie are absolutely doing the best work for both the knife community and general related interest out right now. Love you guys and the entire progression to this point. Very few contemporary channels come off with a true interest and care to detail as you guys are doing. So please keep it up and stand strong in doing your own independent production because they are definitely coming with offers for you to give them the heart and soul you guys exude in this genre. Merry Christmas and you guys deserve a special gift this Christmas ❤
This comment means a ton. We have been working really hard on this project and have some awesome stuff coming soon. Merry Christmas to you and the only gift we need is awesome people like your self watching and supporting to get us to our bigger goals!
Love this “mini documentary” style video, I learned a lot. Bowie knives aren’t always my favorite but I’ve always loved my buck 119 my dad bought me in high school, the same knife he’s always carried hunting, fishing, and camping.
I love the buck 119. I just wish it was at least an inch longer. It's only 6 inches. Which is plenty lethal but it doesn't scream Bowie
This is one of the best written and researched knife videos I've ever seen.
Well done history lesson of my favorite knife! This was great! Thankful to stumble upon this video!
Zach needs a contract. Great telling of history. Zach's voice is very clear and not going to put you to sleep. Great Video too!
Love this story on the bowie knife. Back in the early 80's I made my first and only handmade knife and yes, it is in a bowie form. I was recently made an offer for it, and it was above what I ever thought it would be worth. I turned it down as I just can't let it go, plan to leave it to my son.
Well obviously, you should make more. Time permitting, of course.
@@MnemonicHack actually I plan to make several this coming summer as I have the materials I need. Since I will be retiring soon I thought I would make a few as gifts for this coming Christmas to give to the guys I have worked with for the last 20+ years before the time comes to put down my wrenches. Will make one for my son as well for his coming 21st birthday to go with mine that he will get this year.
@@rogerhancock8732 sounds cool nice dude
Thankyou for this video. The Bowie is my favorite knife and I own more of them than any other in my collection. Knowing the History the way you have portrayed it makes me appreciate it even more. Thanks 🗡
Zac: Outstanding history study and summary of the Bowie knife - Very enjoyable and entertaining too! My personal favorite is the Randall Smithsonian Bowie knife that is both forged and grinded.
I have never seen a video so focused, well researched, and entertaining focused on the steel we all love to carry. Bowie knives are all what we grew up thinking was a "man's" knife, but modern iterations of the design have left us with the lessons learned by history. I think your interpretation and shout outs at the end have done more to show the progression and history of the knife (or any knife design at that) than any one historian could do.
I never learned so much about Bowie that I did from your video. WOW. My best knifes that I own are: WW2 Marine Raider Stiletto by Camillus, WW2 Sheffield's daggers, WW2 V2 by Case, 225 Q by Cattaraugus and a ton of WW2 Mark 2's by Ka-bar, Camillus, Union, Robeson, PAL. Always good to know how to use a knife for defensive issues. ... Gulf War Veteran/Cherokee America 1990-1991...
Excellent video, Zac! I really learned a good amount of history from you which you communicate in a genuinely likeable way. Subscribed.
What a great video! So much information in such a small amount of time. Thank you. When I went to Boy Scouts from Cub Scouts, My daddy gave me a German made stag handle knife in the Bowie style with about a four inch blade. That knife went everywhere with me. Well not to church or school. It was lost in a great hurricane. I still miss it when I am outdoors. I replaced it with a Buck 119. Thanks again for your work.
A true knife geek-fest. You guys are really knocking out of the park. I have a really vulgar Schrade version that I can’t legally take out of my house, but I love it to bits.
Great video Zak, you guys put alot of work into this one and it turned our amazing 👊
Thanks! We had a blast with doing something a little longer and polished.
This is the best video I've ever watched on the subject of Jim Bowie and his legendary blade. Well done, thy good and faithful researcher!
Awesome and very informative documentary. The bowie as we know it today will always be one of my favorite blade styles.
@Zac, this's possibly your BEST vid! You've done us all s great servuce, non-knifers & knifers as well, with a scholarly and well balanded presentation of known history and folklore! As an Arkansas resident & patriot for nearly 50 years, I'm well steeped in the doings in and around Old Washington, AR, 200 years ago, and am truly apprecistive of how you brought it all to life!
Thanks & best wishes for a great Christmas, RRC
Thank you for the kind words! So much great history out that way.
When ever I go into the woods or on my family friends property I carry a Bowie knife. Love the videos keep it up Zac.
Perfect setting for a great carry!
Great video!!, this video will live on and grow just like the great legacy of the bowie. I stumbled across the video and I couldn't turn away. Well done not a second wasted.
Absolutely fantastic video. I’ve been a fan for years, and I honestly think this is the best video you’ve ever made. Kudos and congrats! Keep on keepin on.
Great work Zac, really great. The references to “slow news cycles”, “side-hustles” and the Marvel universe really gives a sense of how the history operated outside of the usual myths and legends. Terrific.
Zac you guys are absolutely crushing it lately. I flippin loved this video. Super cool that your videos have so much differentiation and yet stay true to what you, and this community is passionate about.
Great video! I've loved the Bowie since I first saw it as a little kid in the 70's. It's the American knife. I think even the Buck 110 folding knife is based off the Bowie and it's one of the most popular folders of all time I think.
Thanks for the informative Bowie history lesson. I own both of the anniversary versions of the Buck 110 and 120. I also have a K-Bar USMC although mine is labeled US Army (no since giving free press to my esteemed brothers from another mother) I am proud to have these Bowie-inspired knives as part of my collection. I have been watching you for years. I must admit that I miss Knife Banter and wa wa wa WOW (Wednesdays). I tuned in to watch the original gang's shenanigans, camaraderie, and fun. You guys had the chemistry to make a fun show that garnered a lot of views. I tuned in to see you Ben, Kurt, and Jaimie because it was just entertaining. Made me want to move to Utah to find friends like you guys. Cheers Zac.
I would love to see more documentary style videos like this. It was super fun and interesting to hear the story of the blade and connecting it to some of the stuff I love today
This was excellent. I would love to watch more like this. You are a wonderful narrator. The content you were able to scrape up from history combined with wrapping it all up with the present day relevance and current artists, projects, and availability is very well done. Thank you!
Great video, I have a Randall #14 with a 7.5 inch blade for many years hunting , fishing and camping etc. love my knife and would never trade it.
Now I know why I love knives. Thanks for the historical information. It makes me want to expand my knife collection and share this info with my family over, when you say; Thanksgiving Dinner.
Zac all I can say is that this is the greatest documentary I've seen on the topic of knives. You've done an amazing job and I feel as though I can speak for all the viewers in saying - WE WANT MORE !
One of those new makers here. I love building Bowie's and just won novice class in Sam Towns bladesmiths Bowie build challenge here on youtube... Heard some new stuff here and that was cool...that was a well put together piece on the history and obscurity of the actual Bowie... Those unnamed society builds are absolutely stunning so check em out if you haven't yet...
I freakin love nerdin out on stuff like this, would love to see more episodes like this. Thanks Zac for the content.
Zac Thank you, thank you, thank you! That was a great documentary, made my day! You brought tears of joy to me.
Professor Zac, preach on! Your content is fun, philosophical and intellectual! Many thanks!
Glad you dug it🙏! This one was a ton of work and a ton of fun! So many ins and outs with the history!
Holy cow!!! That wasn't the typical knife video but something else! Quality content. The Buck 119 was the first quality fixed blade i ever owned and i have a mint condition 1970s one now. It has influenced my taste in hunting knives to this day. A true classic born of a great historical knife
I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you Zac!
PS: I'd love to see more blade history content.
Zac…these knife history videos have all been REALLY GOOD.. Label me pleasantly surprised..as..I thought I already "knew" most of this.. THANK YOU.
What a great video! Loved the history and the quality of this video. Thanks for diving into the murky waters of Bowie history and tracing it to modern times. Really cool stuff!
More of this type of content good sir! Your abilities as a narrator and enthusiasm for all things knife are infectious.
I just watched this video and it is really great! You have done a fantastic job with research and the film work - everything! Really excellent! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more!
Very well done. You keeper me watching the hole way through. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Love the history lesson. I’ve watched many videos on the history of the Bowie knife and cheers to you for such a great and informative video on this historic blade shape!
Great mini-documentary! This was really well done. I've always loved bowies - one of the first ones I ever saw was one Grandpa had made for him while he was serving in Dutch Harbor, AK, in WWII, with a handle made from aircraft plexiglass. It's been a fun ride ever since. Keep up the good work!
This video was great, Zac! I'd love to see some similar videos about other iconic (maybe even mundane/obscure) styles of knives.
This is the content we need. Beautiful job.
Great history, thank you for posting this. Some of the finest examples of of the Bowie were reputedly made by the Wostenholm works in Sheffield, England and Wolstenholm collaborated with one of my grandmother’s relatives, Joseph Rogers who went on to produce and sell Bowies world wide. Bowie had knives made for his friends by Wolstenholm. The Sheffield Foundries and especially Rogers were regarded as the producers of some of the finest carbon steel blades in the world. I have a later style buffalo horned hunting knife made by one of the last foundries to survive shortly before its closure in the mid 2000’s.
This is an awesome video!! We obviously LOVE knives, and to learn some of the best history on one of the most iconic knives history has is just bliss for us. Thank you for a very very well put together video.
I live in Rogers Arkansas, a few miles away from AG Russell's store. I met and spoke with him many times before his sad passing. Shopped in the store very often. I have many knives of all types. The big Bowie is my favorite style of knife. I've also visited now called Old Washington Arkansas where James Black lived and worked. I love the mystery and lore around this great American icon of a blade. You did a very wonderful job making this video. Thank you so much. I'm just sad it took me this long to see it in my feed and watch it lol. Again thank you, but now onto looking into my next purchase. You gave me that itch again to get more blades and go enjoy using them out on my family's property here in the beautiful Ozarks.
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you so much for this wonderfully entertaining and informative piece. Bravo.
This has been my favorite video you've done so far, and I would love to see more content from you and Jamie in this format. I think a full history of Buck knives would be awesome! I currently am on the hunt for a Buck 102 and a custom kydex sheath for it so I can edc a small Bowie inspired blade.
Great job Zac and crew! Everyone who digs knives needs to have at least 1 Bowie in their collection.
Totally agree!
Excellent production, thanks! Lots of good info...my compmements!😊🎉
Great production and presentation here Zac! 👏
Great video! Interesting and informative. Fun to watch as well. It was crafted better than most shows on TV. Keep up the great work.
Awesome episode. Subscribed. One thing you missed regarding WWII the Bowie didn't evolve to the KA-BAR, the Marine Raiders actually carried the V44 Collins knife which was literally a Bowie knife. Superb job though!
Is this accurate my boi?
Stumbled on this video and it was an awesome video. Probably because I love history and knives. Keep up the good work
What an incredible video! Great job on this.
This video was excellent. Love it. Since i was a kid looking at hardware store and outdoor store displays the Buck knives have always stood out to me more than any other that I remember. Thanks for doing this Zak. Hope to see other awesome knife history inspired videos.
The 120 was my grail knife before I knew what a grail knife was😁
Bowie knives are just the best! I have a Tops Prather War Bowie that I absolutely adore! And you're right, alot of the myth of the Bowie is created through story and, well, myth! But gosh darn it a big clip point fixed blade is just the best haha! Another great and informational video like always Zac! Really loved you digging into the history on this one! I love what you're doing with this channel! The CZcamss and the Knife/EDC world is better with you in it!
Thank you so much🙏! Totally agree there’s nothing better then a big old clip point blade!
That one's on my short list. Wish it came uncoated. You can't beat the glint of steel for deterrent factor.
When Zac did the Tops walk through, I razzed them that no one had the Prather War Bowie in their pocket. Lots of scandi folders instead.
I’m a knife nerd and love Bowies, I learned things today. Excellent video!!
Absolutely fantastic video man!
Dude, this was awesome, left me wanting more. A full length documentary might be needed! Great video. Thank you.
What an EXCELLENT documentary! I thoroughly enjoyed watching every minute of it! It's by far, the very best Bowie knife documentary I've seen to this day!!! Thank you for presenting this to us... Subscribed!
Thank you very much!
My favourite bow-making tool, TY. 👍
This is a brilliantly craft video. More please. Would love to see more videos focused on infamous knives and makers, both past and present.
Thank you for making this awesome video! I don't know if I've ever learned so much in a short amount of time and been entertained! Great job guys!
Means a ton!👊
Honestly Zach you should do more videos like these. This was an awesome quick documentary on the Bowie knife
Please make more documentaries, you guys rocked this one!
Your videos are so good, so entertaining and so informative.
Complements to you and your team for another awesome video. This was very interesting. I hope u do more of these historical videos on other knives. Great work!
Best mini documentary I've ever seen, Zac I love your vids, this is easily the best one yet, keep up the good work man, livin' the good life!
Jamie knocked the edit out of the park here!
Wow - glad I stumbled on this video. Great video and great info.
A very good video man, well done. So much excellent information and history.
Zac, you continue to make the best knife-related content on CZcams, your mix of Knife Knowledge, passion for all things Americana, and history buffitude really speak to me lol we are of the same mind! As I sit in my mancave admiring my newly acquired Hinderer Ranch Bowie, watching this video made me appreciate it even more! Keep it up!
I kind of feel like I'm watching an episode of the old History Channel show "Tales of The Gun." but for bowies lol love it!
Thank you so much for the kind words! The Ranch Bowie is a great one!
Wonderful video! I enjoy how you point out the marriage of cold, practical utility and romance in this knife. It's a tool but so much more. It's like the kukri of America, or the machete of America.
Bought my Bowie at the age of 12, with my paper route money. I was heavy into scouting and backpacking. I still have it and a lot of stories that go with that knife!
Excellent doc. That buck 916 is so beautiful
Really great video! Lots of fun stories, folklore, and history around the bowie knife. You guys are killin it!!!
Thank you!
Seems as if this group has done their homework in the development of this video. The history of this knife pattern may have been distorted as the stories have been told over time, but that in itself is what is so fascinating about this knife. Great work putting this video on the history of James Bowie’s belt knife. Thank You! - Tennessee Smoky
This was magnificent. Simply superb. As a kid I saw most of those movies whose clips you included. I carried a Ka-Bar for years and still have one in my garage that I use for tasks around the house calling for a sharp edge or point. I own the Buck 119 and 120. I own Gerber fixed blades shaped like the Bowie. The Bowie does everything!
Hi DC ! Mayy I ask what is your favorite all around, and what is favorite for combat?
This is the knife channel I needed. Why is it so hard to find content that is easy to watch.
