Keith Montgomery Joined May 9, 2000 Messages 29,205 Nov 11, 2006 #4 I like these baby bowies. This is a very nice one.
OldPhysics Joined Sep 2, 2006 Messages 16,703 Nov 11, 2006 #5 Oddly enough, I also find it attractive. And I'm usually interested only in the classic, large Bowies. Must be something about the lines of the knife -- or maybe that outstanding ironwood handle. Maybe my taste in knives is actually evolving...
