The meteorite content is apocryphal. Most knives were sheffield steel at
that time.
Here's a good synopsis of the story:

[meteorite-list] Bowie Knife from Meteorite?

2005-09-26 Thread Anita Westlake
Dear List:
   A friend from Belgium just emailed this question:

The "Bowie Knife" by Jim Bowie was forged from a nickel-iron meteorite by a
Swedish blacksmith. Does anyone know if this is true?
