This is a fierce looking weapon! This is a great looking large size fighting knife! This pattern is very similar to some of those illustrated in the Bowie Knife Book by Melton, Phillips and Sexton. The knife is 16-3/4ths inches in overall length and it has the massive, wide hand forged blade that measures 11-1/2 inches in length and is 1-7/8th inches wide at the widest point. You can see that this one has been used and the tip is slightly rounded. You can see that the blade is hand forged and you can see the imperfections in the metal that displays beautifully. It has the simple hand forged crossguard and on the end of each side, the craftsman rolled the metal which gives it a great little accent. If you notice the crossguard has been trimmed out to allow the base of the blade to fit through which would make it more secure and it is held in place by the top top that is peened in place. The knife has the 1 piece wood grip intact with a fantastic untouched look. This is a wonderful example of very deadly Confederate craftsmanship.
