     Thanks Guys for your comments, GCR your right about Buck Owens wearing Nudie's custom western wear, as did a lot of western movie stars and those in the entertainment business.
    GB and MW, thank you too for your comments.


       My next knife is a large Bowie, with stag handle, I bought this one in the 60's too, and had Alfonso of Hollywood make a sheath to match my comp. fast draw rig, he did a great job on it, and I used to wear it to some of the shoots back then, I bought this knife from the Pony Express Gun Shop, for those that remember , this was one of my favorite gun shops, they had everything you could want, new and used guns, just about every gun made by most company's, and a full Archery section with range, with an on duty tech that made custom arrows while you would wait. they also had an on the premises Gunsmith Shop with two Gunsmith at all times, there store carried new and old, it was an Antique store as well as new, my friend bought a full Calvary saddle with all the accouterments and had it set up at home on a saddle stand, really cool stuff to say the least,  I  remember being in there one day when Johnathan Winters was their, and he was trying on an old Calvary uniform, one of the guys working there told me, he was a big customer of there's on old clothing and uniforms, anyway he was a hoot to be around, the guy was just naturally funny, just about everything that came out of his mouth had you rolling in stitches.
      Anyway here is that knife, I found it too heavy to carry for hunting, but for show it was OK.

                                Thanks for taking a look

                                   Regards

MORE PICTURES

     This knife was also from Germany, and was a polished carbon blade, these German knives at least at this period of time really kept and edge, once sharp you knew it would hang in there for a long time, and the balance was good on them too.

Beautiful, TW. I like this one. It has a great shape to it. Yeah, maybe a bit heavy to pack around, but cool nevertheless. Is it a Solingen? Those are some of the best.

TW I really like this big bowie. All us small people like the large bowies. That sheath is out of this world. It is just great. Thanks for the history on your items. TW even if u dont post a item please keep telling  the storis of your growing up. You have  fantastic background with all the big name shops and craftmen you have met. Thanks again. KT

Howdy Every one

    Will I'm sure pleased that you all enjoyed the story and the pictures, sometimes it's good to bring up the past, and remember the good things, that are no more, Johnny McCrae, Josh, JD, Marshall Will and Kid Terico, I appreciate your comments, Marshall Will this knife and the last one were made in Solingen Germany, and like you said they made some of the best, and still do. Kid Terico, if small hands like big knives, you would love this one, it really has some heft to it, but at the same time feels good in the hand, nice balance, it could easily be used as a clever to break bone or split a carcass, although I used the other one more for that than this one, this one would have been better for the job because of the weight of the knife. Johnny and Josh, more stories on the way.

                                       Thanks again Pards, for stopping in and taking a gander

                                      Tomorrow I'll show another Bowie and a sheath I made for it,

                                                  Regards
