Is this DCA narrating with a filter or something? Its sounds like DCA, but not quite right.

I recently inherited a 30 year old Bowie, walnut handle, brass hand guard and pommel. 52-100 steel, CONVEX GRIND ! I Saw a similar one online, for 300 bucks ! Its a beauty, and my most prized fixed blade.

Torture tested my Bear and Son, totally passed. Rolled the tip, and the guard became loose but no major breaks. I Re sharpened the whole blade, pointed that tip and wrapped some leather shrink tie around the guard and she's as good as new. They make a great knife.

That Spyderco looks really cool, but the sydie-hole looks like it's in a really bad place structurally for such a large fixed blade.... I also don't understand why they even feel the need to put a hole on this fixed blade anyways.... I get that it's their "signature" but on a fixed blade in this style it's useless if not detrimental

When I was a kid, I broke a cheap Walmart bowie and did some interneting and set my heart on a western 49. My parents refused to spend $100 on a ebay knife for me to throw at trees and hack logs with. I held onto wanting that knife for years. I eventually forgot and remembered out of nowhere into adult hood and ordered one that payday one of my favorite knives.
