Bowie Knife Since Black's Death
Black's shop has been recreated as part of the Old Washington Historic State Park. Old Washington is the headquarters of the American Bladesmith Society and they maintain a knife-making college at the site. Black's knives are exceedingly rare and are prized by collectors. Several examples of Black's knives are on display at the Historic Arkansas Museum as part of the American Bladesmith Society collection. In 1996, Black was inducted into the American Bladesmith Society Hall of Fame as an inauguree.
