Hope everyone who was blessed enough to receive a handmade Bagwell can truly appreciate how much passion and research went into their creation ; love and strength to the family ❤

Sadly, Mr. Bagwell passed on February 17, 2021. Rest in peace, sir.

"And you cut his hand off!" So non chalontly. I love it. R.I.P. Mr. Bagwell, you are a legend.

Bill may not remember me, but I sure remember him. He's a fine fellow and a great maker of Bowie knives. I'm glad Bill has made his mark and is doing well! Happy New Year, Bill Bagwell, and all!

Words of wisdom...❤ the way you teach reminds me off my grandpa an his mechanic skills!!!

Bill Bagwell made a knife for me back in 1988. Great piece of work, top of the line, bar none. Also have a few Randall knives, had more Randall's sold them, and gave 2 away just because.

Truly a master. You inspire a novice like me. True to form you carry the blade just as a gentleman would carry his blade. The apitomy of the true AMERICAN BLADE! THANK YOU SIR

Very cool. I remember back in the late 1970's it must have been my dad and I spent a day with Bill in his shop. He showed us how he forged a blade. I still have two old Bagwell Bowies, one marked No. 1 that was featured in a magazine and another with mastadon ivory handles.

It got done. My husband contacted Mr. Bagwell and recently got his beloved Bowie back. Mr. Bagwell gave it a razor primary, very sharp backcut and Fighting Bowie tip profile. Now, he won't let anyone even touch it.

This was so refreshing! Nice to see a shop that did NOT have a row of robots and CNCs. Love his knives.

The Man! The Bowie Master Maker! Bill Bagwell... All American Bowie Collectors should have a Bagwell Bowie... A real "American Made Bowie!"

I wish I could Like this video more than once. I love Bill Bagwell's style. I'd love to own one of his Bowies. Thanks for posting this, Peter.

Bill Bagwell Bowie's are my personal favorite "Fighting Bowies..." :)

Fascinating video! ⚔️

Fabulous stuff... that Hells Belle is just incredible.

Loved your power cut!

Looks very well made !

Man I'd love to have one of his bowies.

A great video. Thank you so much!

what a way to close a video...Bravo

this was beautiful.

superb... more please

Please put up the other half!!!!

Amen, mighty fine knife!

Pure gold...

A true master.

Could you please put up the other half just so that I could watch it at least and then take it down again if you have to??? Thanks

You gonna be able to put up the other half of the interview?

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

It's a lovely knife, but his sharpening technique of using the burr as a cutting edge makes that edge a little delicate. I find that stepping down progressive grit sizes of wet&dry from p400 to p2000, then stropping with polishing compound gives a very fine shaving edge, but since this method removes any burr the edge has more (unstressed) metal behind it and it tends to last better than the create-a-burr-then-straighten-it method even though it is just as fine. Just my 2 cents.

Amazing hidden secrets ✨️

I have a Bagwell Midnight Bowie, really want a Hells Belle. Great Video!

wow just wow

Hey! if you sell these knifes I would be very interested! Knowing your last name is also the name of a combat knife is full on awesome!

Anybody know what kind of stone And grit That is he has ?

Man, I want that thing so bad.

Bill 25 years ago your were a little faster than what you are now its hell getting old isn't it 25 years ago I was a lots faster than what I am now also now as back then great Blade as always .

Show me more!! I thought I had a really good knife, and really it is, but I really would like one of those. How much do they go for, and where do I go to get one?

Are his Bowie knives one of the best? Do they compare to Randall knives? Or Down Under Blades? Who are the "top makers" of Bowies today? Interesting opinion on how a strong knife should be built. With a gradual taper. Most Bowies n't have that that. Some mind prefer the look of the more commonly seen designs. I'd like to see a Bagwell compared to a Randall. Or Down Under...head to head. Or blade to blade rather. Just for curiosity reasons.

Wow😲

Amen

I wish this guy was one of my uncles

wow

Жалко не показали весь нож крупным планом. (((

would help if we could hear you

How do I contact Mr. Bagwell

How can I get Bill Bagwell to grind a real backcut into my husband's Bowie?

That´s not a knife, is a sword... OHHHH My GOOOODDDD... I am sure any of my knifes can NOT cut a paper roll like that.... I have to learn how... that was too much for me...

Martensite, not "marstentite".

Is this guy still alive?

It's a beautiful knife. But. If you take a blade that long with you anywhere public and a cop finds out, you will go to jail, lose your knife, and your money faster than if you have a conceal carry firearm. Our laws favor guns, but punish most other self defense weapons. And that gangster he refers to in his scenario most likely will have a gun on his person. Knives are beautiful, wonderful historical items to have a collect. But if you try to take a knife to a gun fight you will end up dead or in prison.

it is pronounced BOW-IE not BOOWIE as in David Bowie, you know ziggy stardust its not boowie

OMG I think he has issues , lets cut his hand off !. Nice knife though.

austenite and martensite! ALSO the rough grind marks will make a stress riser and cause a crack to develop during the quench, this vid is proof that knifemaking involves a certain amount of horseshit to make it sell
