I visited the San Jacinto Battlefield last year where Santa Anna was defeated. In the museum I was most impressed by Davy Crockett’s knife, the one he used at the Alamo after he ran out of ammunition. Davy Crockett’s knife very closely resembles the wood handled paring knife my wife uses for peeling potatoes. It couln’t have been more that 6-1/2” inches from point to the handle’s butt.
