Big Daddy

[William Schrade]

This is a Bowie I made back in May of this year. The Crown Stag handle is from a Buck my father shot when he was a young man. I would say it's around 70 years old. It was mounted in his den and about 40 years ago it was deteriorating so bad we had to throw it away. I kept that rack all these years not knowing what I would do with them. I just couldn't throw them away. It's a perfect fit in the hand and there is a small tine in the perfect spot that makes it stand on it's edge. My father was a BIG man, 6' 1 with a 52" chest and 19" neck. That's why I call it Big Daddy. Thanks for looking.

Knowing the history behind it just makes it that much more of a viewer pleasure. Thanks for sharing and nice knife!
