Yeah, based on historical researchers who focused on Jim Bowie, et al, over time he had several different, kinda similar knives. Supposedly the Sandbar fight knife was more like a large butcher knife without a hand guard. The next one had the guard but wasn't a clip point and had a rounded handle. The one he had at the Alamo was believed to be mostly like the ones today. Do we know this for a fact? Not really.It isn't. Just because a sheath knife has a clip point a lot of people mistakenly call them a bowie. The problem is there's more mythology about the "bowie" knife than fact and there were so many different knives called "bowies" as to make the term all but meaningless marketing.
