Well I have more big blades than I need, and I need gun money so this should go to someone who is missing that special something for the zombie apocalypse. This thing is rough and mean, not pretty. But I loaned it to a friend who scoffed at its prowess due to not being full-tang, to take after 20 feet of laurel hedges with it - and he cleaned them all out with this knife! Now he's a believer, but wifey wouldn't let him buy it with her $$ (he's currently unemployed, and as she pointed out the hedges are gone now so what does he need to chop? Women, sigh).

Anyway I have not seen another Crow Bowie in years. But I mutilated - I mean modified this one in ways that are significant functional improvements
- rounded the square point guard
- shaped the handle so it's actually comfortable to chop for hours with
- put in a choil
- rounded the spine and gave it a dropped false edge that isn't false, for back-cutting zombies

The modifications are shown in the pic with it's brother, a SYKCO 1311 that I modified (and which is NOT for sale, ever). The other pick shows the handle and guard as they originally came, along with the HI traditional Kuhkri- style sheath -- which has a small tear near the tip due to my incompetent friend thrusting it into the sheath a little too excitedly after murdering all those bushes, but it's 100% functional. Blade is about 12" long, handle 6.5", spine maxes out at around 5/32" thick. The pic is awful so please ask questions if you have any.
