‘Officially amazing’ Guinness World Records presents Bowie knife world’s largest title
After four years of planning, fundraising and hard work, it’s official: Bowie has the Guinness World Record for the Largest Bowie Knife.
The Bowie Chamber of Commerce received its certification this past week and will celebrate it with a ceremony at the site in Pelham Park at 2 p.m. June 8. The certificate will be unveiled and refreshments will be served to mark the occasion.
Bryan Brown, co-chair of the Bowie Knife committee, said while the unveiling last April was the biggest highlight so far, the official designation by Guinness puts the final sharp edge on the blade. He looks forward to the next phase where the knife is promoted with its new title.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
