The Bowie was made as a gift from and Old Vet of Korean War that was 85 years age. I buried him five months back. Carried him on many trips to the Doc over the years and this was his way of a return thanks! He made knives for many years; one heck of a fellow he was! We drank a few scotch together...I might add! Gonna miss him!! :o
