Victor,
That was a pure action packed historical on the American Bowie.
I loved the history as well as the different uses the Armed Forces realized were necessary for survival of it's soldiers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Hats of to the Horn Dog for another brilliant post detailing the history of a particular style of blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Great post and super pix!! Thanks for the history.
I love a good knife story...especially with a Scrap Yard ending. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Peace.
