Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
TOPDOG, Though I have no experience with Gerber Bowies the thick guard and wide ricasso tell me the designer was focused on delivering POWER. No subtlety here, just the efficient delivery of maximum force. If you utilize the blade for some serious chopping let us know how well the knife performs. I would be interested in learning if any hot spots develop in your hand when using this.

Good looking knife Scott.

Petekuhn, the 4th item from the top is a Finnish made Puukko. It should have a horse's head on the handle which I cannot see. The handle itself is made of casein which is extracted from milk.
