Nurse that back slowly Grant hope all went well.

Ahhhhh USPS postal charges and rules read like a "Chinese Packa Poo ticket". I have had bows from 66" to 52" shipped from west coast to east coast and central US at a range of prices that dont compute. My best is from Mich USPS 52" @ US$48. Different States seem to operate u...

Wow.........beautifull work

Latched onto this fine old (no stampings) Bowie which was ID'd by those who know :geek: as German origin made for the South American market It has very finely done Pommel and guard work. (nickel silver). The scarbbard is not original to the knife and is said to be of central American origin but is t...

Thats a classic... Luv those cross draws sure is a nice piece of craft.

Hope they get over....

Must make mention and thank again.... Perry sent me a disk set of the full Sheath making process which will save me a lot of pain.
Very informative mate and very much appreciated. There sure are some generous folks in the Trad scene.

This is my treasured Red Stripe Pal RH (Remington Hunting) 37 with parkerized blade. Has not seen a lot of use for a est' 1943 issue. It has USN stamped sheath with US Navy stamped on the Ricasso. I thought I had a M4 Pal but no can find (senior moment). Often wonder about the owners over the years ...

Very nice Joe... that Pal looks pretty pristine. What a history. During WW2 their entire production was evidently dedicated to military knives .
You are correct it is a virtual lookalike to the USN Mark 1 (M H Cole 114).
I will dig out a couple I have and post.
Thanks for showing.

You should hang onto that knife Stickslinger it must have a bit of personal history for you and is genuine USMC issue.(so much junk around) The most copied knife in history. I have assembled a few with good provenance including some from your old cor' that visited WW2 Korea Vietnam even the middle e...

Hi Pete....will send detail.... apart from previous cautious comments on blade these Pakistani efforts are showing signs of not being to bad at all.
Just picked up a 17" Bowie blank for $15 complete with double brass guard shipping $18.00.

Thanks for the encouraging comments guys appreciated. Billys the next one David :lol: Perry has kindly offered to help with info on the leatherwork which is great. The problem with the blade Bill is it appears at this stage to hold a pretty mean edge and filing the tang handle end to fit the handle ...

I think you have learned and grown Bill.
You missed the word assemble.... Im no cutler.
I think I put a meal on some Pakistani table

Always been a acquirer and never a maker so this is the first effort at knife assembly Elk handle was by Robert Roberts who I think does great scrimshaw.
Bowie is 13inchs long Blade 8 inchs. Now to try a sheath to match.

Safe and successfull moves forward Gav....you sure have contributed to the growth of the game we love.
The journey is the destination.

Tony S.

I am sure you would be made most welcome there are a great group of single string shooters.

Wow ....would it not be great if we could get Andy's Dunolly Muso's down for this one.Irish/Folk around the fire.... Kahuna and associates
with guitar's plus any other music talent we can hijack.

Great photo's that pretty much sum it all up....there is a little bit of magic in the way the Dunolly crew works. So good to spend time doing the thing we love amongst good like minded traddies. Face hair.... if you aint got it you have to get some (guys only).

What a great piece of craft......terrific.

Sorry ...i ment to be clearer....does the thickness of the tang taper down to handle end.

Above link may assist re your Sheffield Bowie.....If you ever are thinking of moving the knife on keep me in mind .
That sheath is beautiful work.
Sure fits the blade.
Does the tang taper from the guard to the top of handle ?
