Large, hand-made bowie knife, possibly a Vietnam era Theater Knife. The knife has a large, well-shaped bowie blade with long clipped point. The guard is shallow "S" shaped in steel with holes drilled along through in a decorative pattern. The pommel is pronounced with a slight pistol grip extension for a more secure grip. The grip is varnished wood with a carved diamond shaped inset on each side. It was painted with metallic green and metallic red paint, some of which has flaked off. The sheath is also hand-made, black leather with rawhide lacing. Size: 16 3/8 inches long overall, with an 11 inch blade. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Very good plus. The blade is somewhat roughly finished, but is very good plus as it was made. The overall manufacture is slightly primitive, but a nicely made, well-balanced large fighting bowie.
