Hi, I have something that looks like a big old bowie knife, The only marking on the blade is a etched rose without the stem. Any clue of the maker ect. any help would be great. Thanks

all i could find was china light industrial. they used a rose in a circle at some point. probably not very old. looks like it would chop down a tree!

Hey! I've seen a knife like that before.

A guy tried to stab me with it.

Thank God for my gunbelt.

He stabbed my gunbelt right at the thickest part of it, at the buckle. I took it away from him.

I think I put it in the trunk of my old cruiser or in my old office filing cabinet. It may still be there. I'll ask about it the next time I go by the office, which isn't very often though.
