Will try and post when I get home from physio
Here we go
Theyre a gutsy looking pair of blades OD
Quick hit with the ceramic rods and now damn sharp. Frost make some good gear
Coulda cleaned up the glue dribble.
But apart from that very nice.
Very nice did you now the original Bowie knife of Jim Bowie fame had soft brass down the back of the blade.
when fighting another knife wielding chap if Jim blocked the others knife that blade would stick in the brass and not slide.
Just one of those useless info thingys lol

Read through this and the real Bowie had a thing called the "Spanish Notch"
I noticed that after I took the photo, other than that they have a good finish and good weight as well.Quote:

That is friggen ugly
My Strop arrived today ,no not Stropp, a strop for my knives.
looks like what the teacher used years ago lol.
Still waiting on 4 x knives to arrive an got my eye on a vintage Solinger Bowie with a 170 blade, and about 285 over all
Sheath is knackered,
I think all bowie Knives should have a fringe on the sheath to give it an indian/cowboy look about it.
Would love to be able to make one.
