Thanks for turning me on to Mark's YouTube channel! Here's a video I found to be interesting on the history of American made Bowies, and how Sheffield improved upon them. Your Masonic knife is around 2:33-

Apologies if this has been posted before.

Not only am I impressed with your Bowies but I am perhaps even more impressed with what must be the very capacious storage capacity you have. Wishing you buku sales.

Thanks Garry Not only is storage a problem ,Keeping the Sheaths in good order is as bad as cleaning the Knives

Weight is also a issue

scoti, I don't believe I have welcomed you to AAPK. So, welcome aboard.

Your early Mexican Bowies are amazing. Really wonderful acquisitions. Congratulations.

Looking forward to any other knives you care to share with us.

I thank you, sir, for both the welcome and the compliments on the Bowies. I was very lucky to find them!
I have been collecting for a long time but am relatively new to the forums and I very much appreciate how many nice and knowledgeable people are in your membership.
Thank you, again

Thank you guys for your kind and generous responses to my posts.I am honored to be welcomed by such veteran collectors as yourselves.

I am going to have to get it together and start taking more photos of my collection so I can participate in more of your discussions.

I continue to be awestruck by your exciting collection, scoti.

Thank you, Dan

Here's a couple more. The first one I call a pagger because I'm not sure if it's a dagger or a tent peg

I love the CASE Rio Grande camp knife!!!! Been on the fence buying an original CASE blade blank of this one...but $150 is a bit steep...lol

Posted: **Fri May 19, 2023 3:31 am**

Cant afford to buy them...lol...so I make them myself from blade blanks....Bowie knives have fascinated me since I was 12...lol I got kicked out of summer camp cause I showed up with a 15 inch Camp/Bowie knife...lol
Still getting exited when I see a BIG blade!!

ALIEN, your Bowies look very refined and impressive. Great work.

Posted: **Sat May 20, 2023 9:43 am**

I agree wholeheartedly. Some great-looking Bowies!

Someday I'll try making one from a blade blank myself.
