Lovely.

Is Paul Bunyan missing his knife?

Raising a cow to make a one piece sheath -

Where did it come from?

A gentleman knife collector named Pat Reindel and myself made the knife for the 2014 Oregon knife show as a display piece to complement our Bowie display. Knives of Note YouTube video of that display online. Then the knife hung in a Boise woodworking store for 10 years. I have lighted the blade and turned it into a mobile advertising display piece. (Boisemobilesharpening.com) If you like getting into knife conversations with just about everyone, it's been a really great experience. I can unbolt the knife, display rack and signage to pack it inside the van in a few minutes. (but I just tell people I put it up there to keep people from pulling in front of me -)

Very interesting, how long is it?

Very cool, thanks for posting.

found your sharpening wheel

Since we had an 8 ft table, we built the Bowie 7 ft. 8 in. To fit the table. We were adamant that it was a true knife. Solid blade, thick rat tail tang, slab hardwood handles and welded guard. Not a hollow sign. Originally 83 pounds, now lightened to around 40 pounds.

Thanks for the info.

I would like to hang something like that in the front of my barn!

Hanging on your barn, it should have a razor sharp edge on it to deter criminal theft. lol

Don't think anyone could take it down from twenty five feet up

That picture is taken from an angle not showing the white 2016 Chrysler van that it sits on when I am on a sharpening call. Check out either cutlerycolletors.com or. boisemobilesharpening.com.
