Size: 14 1/2 inches long, with a 9 inch blade. Large hand made bowie knife with wooden grip, oval copper guard, and a strip of lead added to the tang between the grips to aid in balance.

Both knives have simpler aspects, but both exhibit interesting craftsmanship. The first knife is an extremely fine knife with a crusde finish. The second knife appears to be older, and could pass for a 19th century knife in a different sheath, and with the point reshaped. It has some old rust stains.
