Check link to Bowie knife History, I remember all this from watching JIM bowie as a kid.
Basically its a short sword for knife fighting the original knife had the brass strip to catch a blade when fending off a blow.
It also had a "Spanish Notch" on the back of the cutting edge to break opponents blades.
Good read about the Sand bar fight when he beat 3 attackers thus the Bowie knife was born

In-laying that brass is made by a serious blacksmith.
Weld On the full grind. Awesome stuff..

Must check the guard all references say gold plated.
I changed the link to what my knife looks like, it has a story on Jim Bowie and the Alamo
very interesting reading

Very interesting article 3D. Answered my question to as to why they had either brass or copper on the edge...
I also saw that your one is hi-lighted with Gold plate. Gotta say that I reckon the gold looks better as I am now considering getting one as well....
