I'm 72. I thought I remembered a version where the blacksmith, added a meteorite to the metal mix for an out of this world alloy that no other knife could possess. Anyone else remember this? I didn't see any reference to that in this episode. Maybe the episode was shortened here and there. I definitely remember that aspect, because it was such a remarkable thing to do. I must have been a child or in my teens when I saw that.
I believe that was the 1952 film The Iron Mistress with Akan Ladd.
The meteor was from "The Iron Misstress " with Alan Ladd.
That was in the movie the iron mistress with Alan Ladd
I remember that film but the life of me I can remember.
Ultimately the movie Iron Mistress was based on the book of the same name.
Yes. I remember the bladesmith kept meteorite ore and kept it around for a special project. Interestingly enuf King Tutenkamen in his tomb was buried with him two very ornate daggers. One of solid gold and the other one was made of a steel and through a process that was supposedly impossible at this time.
Perhaps was made from.meterorite?
(Or something else not from Earth?)
Thanks. I remember this show growing up. Very charismatic, likable actor. Entertaining tv series for it’s time. Have owned, used, thrown many "Bowie " knives in my 70+ years.
You got me.
I'm in awe of these old shows that I now get to see that my old man and Grandma told me about...
I need to go on more adventures like Jim Bowie.
Try watching the "Forged in Fire" TV series. 🗡
I loved 😍 ♥ that show 😍
Bowie is a knife of man, of courage, of justice.

I'm 71 old timer and you're a 100% right he did add some steel from a meteorite
I don't know what I'm watching but I luff it.
great episode. i have it on a cd.
Always did like Alan Ladd's "Iron Mistress".
Yes, but Bowie didn't make his money of of lumber, it was slavery or so I learned on this site.
Off not of
Oh man great show
He actually bears some resemblance to Bowie.
Thank you for this video. 👍🏼👍🏼
I didn’t mind that this wasn’t the “true story of how the knife was born”.
What I mind is how they couldn’t say his name the way Jim actually pronounced it 200 years ago.
I believe the movie was called " The Iron Mistress"
I hope you have the last handful of episodes with an instrumental background score tracked in.
I hear ya, that crooning in the background all the time got old for me too.😫
So casting really.... plus the stone was peddled... the blade is short as well...
This pilot was apparently the only episode where the knife played any real part, other than a piece of costume. Apparently, the sponsors and the network were fine with other Westerns shooting people left and right, but a knife fighter was going too far.
The knife features in other episodes, that is, he draws or throws it and uses it. I don’t think anyone gets knifed though. Probably too graphic for Television.
Jim Bowie looks like Kramer in your thumbnail.
If his name was Jim Shotgun would he have blasted that door to smithereens at the start? (What's a smithereen by the way?)

Family related here.
i forgot all about jim bowie , i think he fought at the alamo , was twenty to one there , sad the Mexicans didn't want to kill him ,but evil general did
Cast iron knife? Uhh
Most likely melted copper or tin for effect. Lol
No. Steel
They don't even pronounce his name correctly🤬
Yeah, the singers don't, they pronounce it BOOwie instead of BOWie.🤨🙄
@@conniee.
Jim Bowie pronounced his name “Boo-wee”.
His descendants said people were mis-pronouncing the name even before Jim made it famous.
@@arctodussimus6198 - Oh, oh well then.😊 I'm glad David Bowie didn't pronounce it that way.😆
What a STINKER 🤣👍🏻
Ouch!
@@VintageFilmChannel , amazing what we used to watch as kids.
I’m going on 70 and thanks for the video 😉👍🏻🇺🇸
Much better than a lot of the stuff we have these days.
The constant church music and vocals was and still is irritating. Not a bad show for its time.
LOL!!!! What a load of rubbish!!!
So, Karl. you're a fan! Thanks for the comment!
74 yrs old and I remember that movie,and the TV show
Lol good but
Why? What part was bad?
