| Description: Gen. D. Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna's men outnumbered Col. William Travis' troops 6,000
to 200. Before noon on March 6th, 1836, Travis, Jim
Bowie, David Crockett and the remaining defenders fell,
making the ultimate sacrifice for their families and the
future of the Republic of Texas.
The Alamo Bowie celebrates the Alamo and Jim Bowie.
The hand-turned handle is taken from a large limb of
a live oak that grows on the Alamo grounds. The
familiar blade is 14" long and is crafted from
high-carbon steel, hand-forged over a 10-day period.
The blade is engraved on both sides with historical
tributes to the men who fought and died at the
Alamo. On each side is a single gold star for the
fabled Lone Star of Texas. It is engraved with "Give
Me Help, Oh my Country," and has a certificate of
authenticity. Only 1,836 will be made, representing
the year of the Battle of the Alamo.
