the clip doesn't have to be curved. what is and what isn't is very subjective.

searles fowler bowie, for example, one was displayed at the alamo (and may still be) (below red background)

they even made them in nepal (the one i'm holding with the aluminum diamond shaped grip inlays)

and one of my favourites, a converted file (the ones with the file patterns on the sides.)

in spite of all the hype, james bowie in his final days at the alamo is actually supposed to have carried only a small 6 in. bladed sheffield bowie with a simple brass guard and wood grip.
