I saw this on Youtube and have been enjoying watching it over and over. I feel is it a shame only a few have seen it. I thought to post it here where it might be enjoyed and discussed. It is a rare opportunity to see a Bagwell Bowie in the making.

Over in Shoptalk discussion is discouraged on videos :rolleyes:

Bills the best and besides being quite a character one of the best combat Bowie knife makers on the planet.

IMHO he is the father of the modern combat Bowie and I have learned so much about Bowies from him that I would not know where to start :)

Thx for posting
 
AVigil,

Thoroughly enjoyed it, never saw that Bagwell vid before. :)
I must need a HB.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

I respect Bill Bagwell as a pioneer, and I certainly respect the opinions of those who own and swear by his knives.

Personally I can think of at least a half dozen other makers I would go to for a user Bowie.
 
When I came across the video there was only about 10 views and I could not believe it had been on Youtube since July. I tried uploading his other video but vid portion just does not work. You can listen to it, which is interesting, but I hope they can get it fixed.
 
That is an AWESOME video.

Gives an idea of why those that have Bagwell bowies like them so much.

Nice video. I hope for Bill' s health that he normally wears a mask while grinding!
 
Thanks for posting that video!! I have followed the writings of Bill way back when he wrote articles in SOF many moons ago. Men like Bill Bagwell, and Jeff Cooper with strong convictions in their knowledge and beliefs, and no appologies for their belief have always inspired me. I pray one day to own a Bagwell bowie. To me that is the pinnacle of combat bowie!
Thanks Again!!
 
Interesting video!

This video has convinced me that I finally need to buckle down and find that bowie I've been meaning to get for the last two years. The hunt begins...

Thanks for sharing it was a great watch and very informative.
 
Bills a big thick SOB and I would not wanna stand in front of him when he swings a knife :)

That was originally filmed on Modern Knives Vol. 5. It also has Mike Sastre showing his Southern Comfort at Bill's shop.
