Bart Moore Bowie

[KenH]

Hello all, does anyone have a drawing/photo of the Bart Moore Bowie with dimensions? I've read the blade is 8-1/2" long, 1-1/2" wide, with a 5" handle. Those are pretty general dimensions. I've got a full size replica of the Joe Musso Bowie started, and thought it'd be neat to make a replica of the Bart Moore Bowie also.

The Musso Bowie is a BIG knife at almost 20" long!

Here is a link to an article published in 1975 that gives actual dimensions of Bart Moore knife of 13-1/4" overall; 8-1/4" blade, 1-5/8" wide, 3" clip, with "teeth" (small notches) on the spine of blade with 14 TPI:

That is the most detailed story I've had on the Bart Moore Bowie. I'd sure like to see the follow up story after the author actually had knife in hand.
