Watching an episode of the History Channel program Found. The shtick is people have their found artifacts researched to discover their history.
On this episode, a guy writes in that he has a Bowie knife he believes might have actually belonged to Jim Bowie. So the teams treks out to the knife holder's home and asks to see the knife.
The owner proceed to pull pieces of the knife out of a box. Why is it broken up in pieces? The guy says he's a Christian and he became obsessed with the knife and he can't have anything of him become higher than god.
Long story short. The knife steel is not Bowie's. The ivory handle however, now broken, dates back to being 45,000 years old.
Great job, asshole!
