Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Years ago, I was suffering from a broken neck and wanted to do something to keep from going nuts around the house. I made this bowie from a lawn mower blade, an old brass boat cleat, and a chunk of an ancient dead apple tree. Heated on a ground fire, hammered straight, shaped and ground, heated and quenched in a bucket of wet sand. It has been with me in the wild dozens of times in 49 states and at sea. 10 inch blade, durable, and sharp as a razor including the clip. It is good for precise cutting or chopping. A true friend.

Thanks Jakub. The grind is an unusual combination of chisel and convex. From the handle to 2/3 out the blade, it is beveled on one side only, with an acute angle for a sharp edge. That was just a modification of the original lawnmower blade grind. Forward of that, as the edge rises, a gradual transitional rolling of the edge toward the center line of the steel, becoming a convex grind up to the point. The clip is sharpened. It's heavy enough to hack through brush that has overgrown trails, strong enough to pry rocks up, yet sharp enough to be lethal.
