At least 40 years of knives in 1 pic

Ok, the title may be a bit deceiving if you were expecting dozens of knives in one picture, but I can explain.

The bottom fighter was made by me for my Dad this past Christmas. I have posted it before here, so I won't go into all that...

The bowie on top was given to my grandfather many many many years ago to resolve a $5 debt. He always told the guy to bring him the $5 and he could have his knife back, but he never would show up... I can always remember this knife hanging on the wall in my grandfather's bedroom.
By comparison, it looks like a 10" blade just like the fighter, and has a brass guard and some brass running up the spine a few inches. A nice long whitetail handle that curves into your hand at the bottom and feels OH so nice! He used some sort of filler on the handle because I guess all he had to cut for the tang was a bigger saw... My dad currently has both of these in his office at the body shop and LOVES showing them off to anyone who is interested...
