The **Bark River Edwin Forrest Bowie** is a bowie knife with a remarkable story. American bowie experts claim that this is the original design of the bowie knife that Jim Bowie used during the famous Sandbar duel in 1827. A one-on-one dual that ended in a large battle where, American pioneer and local hero, James Bowie, was seriously injured. After the fight, during his rehabilitation, he met actor Edwin Forrest. James Bowie donated his knife to Edwin Forrest for his play. Combined with some newspaper clippings of the infamous battle. The knife was found in the 1980s at the Forest Family Estate in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. After which this type of knife was given the legendary name 'bowie knife'. Named after James Bowie.

The Edwin Forest Bowie is Bark Rivers modern interpretation of this knife. The first thing you notice: this is not a small knife! Far from it. The blade is no less than 31 cm long. As such it is one of Bark River's largest knives ever. The knife comes with a leather belt sheath. You can carry it vertically (up to a belt length of 5 cm). A leather loop with press stud ensures that the knife stays in place.

## Blade Bark River Edwin Forrest Bowie A2.

The blade is made from A2 tool steel. A strong type of steel that would rather bend than break. You do, however, need to be careful with moisture and acids: A2 is not completely stainless. So clean it after use and occasionally add a drop of oil to keep this knife in great shape. The edge has been enhanced with a convex grind which you can maintain by [stropping it](/en/ct/stropping.htm).

## Bark River Edwin Forrest Bowie Walnut Burl handle

The handle is made from Walnut Burl. This is a cool type of wood that is stabilized with resin. As such the contrast in this root wood is brought to the surface. A luxurious material, perfect for a knife like this.

Bark River makes all of its knives almost completely by hand. As such each knife is unique. Especially when working with natural materials a knife can differ from the photographs. Therefore the knife you receive might be subtly different from the product photos. The model and type of material, however, will always be the same.
