It was a Mini-Bowie made by Dick Patton of Patton Knives. They actually used two different versions of the knife in the movie, a clip point and a spear point. The blade shapes appear so similar that it is difficult to tell which is which in some shots. Dick's son, Rob Patton, still makes the knife in both blade styles, though he has not been very active since Dick passed away in 2010. A former apprentice, Gary Hicks, who worked for Dick for many years, also builds an accurate copy of the Mini-Bowie and does a very nice job.
