Every one likes the chopper bowies but I prefer a thinner fighter style bowie
with the sharp back edge spanish notch and one of those bottlecap opener things on top. I prefer a small axe for clearing branches and the original bowies were sidearms for a time when handguns were very unreilable and often only had one shot.Here in canada you can't take a gun anywhere but to and from a range or hunting but you can carry any size of fixed blade so long as you don't have criminal intent. A scrapper fighting bowie would be awesome with a 8 and a half inch or even 10 inch bladeof S7 and a resiprene handle. Most people discount knives as weapons in favour of handguns but at the range of most handgun combat a knife is no disadvantage(most civilian gunfights take place within 20 feet and a healthy man can move 14 feet a second). I would also like to see the yard take on a more different flavour from the usual Busse and rat offerings.Not that there is anything wrong with them, quite the contrary but I would like to see more of Dan's personality in the next few knives.
