WORKS CITED 15 2 | P a g e ABSTRACT In the early 19th century, James Black created a different kind of knife for Jim Bowie. This knife was longer in length than the average knife and compared more to a mini sword. While the exact design and characteristics of the original Bowie knife was lost with James Black, the stories of the weapon captivated people. Our project was to capture the same aura surrounding the knife as James Black did many years ago but also commemorate the history associated with it. We created our Bowie knife model using Solidworks, cast it in IC440C Stainless Steel with the assistance of American Foundry Group, and polished it with our own tools. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Management Figure 1: Project Schedule Figure 1 shows the original Gantt chart for the Bowie Knife project. It began December 15th when we created the original proposition for the competition. Every period in the chat represents 1 week since the original 12/15 start date.

For the album of blades, and research now shows that carbon nanotubes the same name, see Damascus Steel (album). can be derived from plant fibers,[8] suggesting how the Damascus steel was a type of steel used in Middle East- nanotubes were formed in the steel. Some experts expect to discover such nanotubes in more relics as they are an- alyzed more closely.[6] The origin of the term Damascus steel is somewhat un- certain; it may either refer to swords made or sold in Damascus directly, or it may just refer to the aspect of the typical patterns, by comparison with Damask fabrics (which are in turn named after Damascus).[9][10] 1 History Close-up of an 18th-century Iranian forged Damascus steel sword ern swordmaking. These swords are characterized by dis- tinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, re- sistant to shattering and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge.[1] Damascus steel was originally made from wootz steel, a steel developed in South India before the Common Era. The original method of producing Damascus steel is not known. Because of differences in raw materials and man- ufacturing techniques, modern attempts to duplicate the metal have not been entirely successful. Despite this, several individuals in modern times have claimed that they have rediscovered the methods by which the original Damascus steel was produced.[2][3] The reputation and history of Damascus steel has given rise to many legends, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or to cut a hair falling across the blade,.[4] A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 re- vealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged A bladesmith from Damascus, ca.
