I was hoping someone could shed some light on a question I have? My father, who recently passed, had a bowie knife custom made when I was young. Much like everything else in his life he was a perfectionist and instead of sending in a diagram or taking about specs over the phone he sent in an exactly carved wooden replica of what he wanted. The Bowie blade is approx 12 inches long. I currently have the blade but I was hoping to get the history of the knife and possibly it's maker name. I know it sounds hokie, but some of the fondest memories I have of my childhood are running around with the wooden model pretending that I was fighting off "the bad guys"! Lol. Anyhow thanks in advance for any info. Btw, I don't know if it helps, but the only marking on the knife are my fathers name (engraved) buck custom u.s.a (stamped) with the number 1 (engraved) below it.
