Cool old Bowie knife

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 .......

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