It is alleged that the first Bowie knife was designed by Jim Bowie's brother, Rezin, and then made by a local blacksmith from an old file. However, it would not be until the Sandbar fight of 1827 that the knife would reach notoriety.

During the fight Bowie was shot in the hip, stabbed in the chest with a sword, and hit with a pistol in the head so hard that the pistol butt broke. However, at the end of the fight Bowie was still standing and killed or injured five men. Later in Texas Bowie was attacked by three men hired to kill him. He killed all three men with only his knife. After this incident every man in Texas wanted a Bowie style knife.
