This is actually a trophy that my father won nearly 50 years ago, given out at the town of Bowie, TX. I was looking at it when I visited him recently and noticed that it is slightly different from most Bowie knife styles these days. It has a wide blade, a lot of curved belly without a straight segment, and a large clip. I don't know if the materials in this one would allow it to really be used since it is made as a trophy but it looks good as a display. I just was looking at it and noticed that it was a different take on the classic Bowie style.
