A Bowie-style, fixed blade knife produced by Andrew Hicks of Cleveland, Ohio, with a brass-bound handle and usually  a 10″ blade. It was once thought to have been produced c.1840,  perhaps the first official U.S. military knife (supposedly issued by the US government to US Army riflemen). It has since been shown to date from 1861, produced for sale to private soldiers. (See the November 2015 edition of KNIFE Magazine for proof.)
