Chevalier Bowie (KH2187) John Chevalier had a shop on Broadway, in New York, where he made Bowie knives and surgical instruments from 1835 to 1871. His quality was first rate; one of his Bowies was presented to Edwin Forest, a larger-than-life theatrical star of the period. Another knife was presented to Forest by James "Jim" Bowie, himself, probably when Forest and Bowie were both in Natchez.
