KnifeMakerPermalink Reply by M. Carpenter on March 25, 2015 at 12:10

When you watch one of the new versions of Jungle Book coming out shortly Mowgli is presented with a knife. It's a large Victorian Middleton Bros Sheffield made bowie I sold them. I cannot remember which of the two makers of the new Jungle Book films bought it but when he get's his knife in one of them that's what it is. Traditional bowies are still made in Sheffield.

I just bought Norm Flaydermans book "The Bowie Knife, Unsheathing The Legend" I have not gotten far in reading it but so far I like it. Its not cheap, average price $75, but its huge and full of great pictures. 512 pages. I would recomend for the pictures alone but I plan on reading it too.
