Ian: You need a new Bowie knife to go with the rest of your cutlery. Speak to me and let me know how we help.

It will be here on Tuesday. Yes, I am absolutely positive that this knife will be a favorite.

I can see the headline... "Distraught Veteran slays violent crackhead. Film at eleven."

It arrived today, sharp enough to slice, and dismember any opponent.The only thing I'll change is the brown piping on the sheath. (I'll be dyeing it black).

This will be a versatile 10" bowie blade of 1075 Carbon Steel that will fill a niche in my collection.

I like it.

If you go to the eBay DK Only Knives site you can find pictures of it under A45. It has a brass guard and a steel pommel with a stacked leather (brown/black) handle. Believe me, Paul Hogan would love it. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81ZniL4-YbL._SL1500_.jpg I finally managed to l...

This one has a 12" blade that has been "vacuum quenched" so that the D2 steel will attain a Rockwell hardness of 58-60. ("Crocodile" Dundee would love this one).

I really believe this looks a bit like the knife I have with an inch shorter blade and a slightly longer clip.

Who knew?

Their mother needs a leash, a distemper vaccination, and a new license.

Perfect for beheading crack heads, just a thought. Really nice knife though! I have one of those living across the way. A "garbage picker" that looks like an unmade bed every day of his life. Believe me when I tell you, I keep either the Ontario Marine Raider SP-10 sharp and handy. I neve...

Thank you, John. The DK ONLY KNIVES people in Bloomington, Indiana jealously guard their reputation. The insist on customer satisfaction. If you haven't had a true "five-star" experience with them, they will make it so, regardless of the cost. They make some beautiful skinners in D2 steel....

Bill: That's the way more Leverlettos should be built. Could you suggest this to the people in Italy? It would make the pocket carry of smaller Leverlettos more convenient and popular.

It's just a thought

This thing is a BEAST! and it is razor sharp. The spine is thick and the D2 steel has been properly heat-treated and tempered. I wholeheartedly recommend DK ONLY KNIVES for affordable, beautiful, practical and functional fixed blade knives made from durable D2 steel. (Remember: D2 steel CAN rust if ...

I walked 6 miles the other day. I'm still in decent shape for my age.
