This is one of five knives I submitted in application for the rank of Journeyman Smith back in 2012. It is my own take on the classic American bowie knife, which I describe as the Swiss Army Knife of the American frontier. Bowies were used for everything from cooking, to hunting, to building, to fighting, and everything in between. I love this knife to this day and have made a few more like it.
