El Diablo Bowie by Ash Blades
This is the “El Diablo” Bowie by Ash Blades. At 13.5 inches overall, this handsome devil can compare to any large Bowie in that class.
The El Diablo features a tapered drop point blade with large unsharpened teeth along its spine. The design of the saw-blade spine coupled with the down-swept quillon of the guard is more likely to entrap an epee blade like a sword breaker than cut any wood. The handle is black wood Micarta with a brass pommel.
Subtle is not a word to describe this knife, and if you are thinking what I originally thought...it is as heavy as it looks!

"After some consideration, I think the previous owner thought he was doing a wonderful thing reshaping the blade."
