Stanley, thank you! I couldn't agree more. The handle on the older of the two, a 1960's production, has some of the most beautifully grained rosewood that I have ever seen. And, unlike the laminated handle belonging to the 1977 model on the right, the handle of the Bowie on the left is made from two solid slabs of rosewood, one on either side.
Thank you for your comment. I have only recently fallen in love with this vintage Western pattern ~ ergo all the pictures!

Handles do not come much prettier that these. Nice knives.

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
