While i was working the Blade show this past weekend what do my wondering eyes should appear but a 12 inch Hells Bell from my dear departed friend Bill BAGWELL
Eric Fritz was kind enough to give me first crack of what is certainly a rare piece a 12 inch HB with steel furniture from my old buddy Bill
I do believe Bill BAGWELL is the father of the modern day Combat Bowie and this piece is certainly a true spine scratcher
Eric was sorting out a a widows husband’s knife collection and brought this buoy to the show and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to give it a home. I remember when Bill made this piece and it’s rather impressive.






Billy and I long ago
