WEBAug 26, 2008 · As far as accuracy goes, the actual knife used by Jim Bowie in the duel that made him famous (Sandbar duel), was quoted as appearing like a large butcher's knife, and not at all like the clip point blade that has become common place. After the news of that duel hit newspapers, everyone "wanted a knife like Bowie's".
