Cool old Bowie knife
Saw this old bad boy in Auction and thought I would share it here. It wasn't just the knife but also the beaded buffalo hide sheath that popped out to me aswell.

I love the seated King SMF mark aswell.,and can see the waffenamt stick bird on the marlin spike which usually has a number in it .Nice grind lines visible on the bl...

Re: Alaskan Guide knife
Luke I dont think they would have me ,I havn't always been good in my youth.
But if they would have me and I was a bit healthier and younger and also had sufficient money to move there.... I would be on a plane in a heartbeat my mate .
I'll be putting my lottery on later so .......

Re: Alaskan Guide knife

Luke
I really like that .
The blade profile is nice and with that handle shape, would be a great bushcraft knife .

Thanks for looking .
I also have had no success on finding anything about the dagger apart from when I bought it .Then it was listed as an Egyptian commando dagger by the German seller.
