I made this version of the shivley Bowie for a fellow Knifedog. I dos have to say I took this thinking it was going to be easy but I never had such a difficult time with a knife in my life. The handle would not work with me. I broke 4 handles and the octaginal desighn was a pain in the behind. This has taken me alot more time than expected but here is the finished project.

An awesome representation of history. The authentic Perkins/Shively displayed in the Old Capital Museum in Jackson, Mississippi is the earliest known signed & dated Bowie knife.
Gahagan, you outdone yourself, beautiful work......Randy
