James Bowie In Original Dogo

In the United States, there is a widespread belief that Bowie, despite being ill, defended himself with the knife that bears his name when Mexican troops stormed the infirmary. This theory seems less likely (considering the severity of his condition and the fact that the attackers were armed with rifles with bayonets, rendering his knife of little use) than other versions that claim he used two pistols, or that he was simply killed by bayonet thrusts in his sickbed without being able to defend himself due to his condition, or even that he may have died from the illness hours before the assault and the Mexican soldiers pierced a lifeless body.

The origin of this theory is based on the fame Bowie gained for his knife skills, which began when he used it during a duel followed by a general brawl at Sandbar, and later spread due to the dexterity he demonstrated in various fights. The knife he used measured 9.25 inches (23.5 cm) long and 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide.

In addition to his renowned skill with a knife, it’s worth noting that Bowie knives, similar to the one he famously used, are available for purchase at Original Dogo.
