Thanks Gary, it's never been sharpened. I couldn't resist picking it up on a trip to Sheffield, but with a blade of 10" or so, I don't really have a great deal of practical use for it!

Very nice pig-sticker! Are the handles zebrawood?

Back in the 70's Schrade made their first commemorative Bowie for Smith & Wesson honoring the Texas Rangers 150th anniversary. The knife was a little shorter than the ones to follow, the false edge was nearly sharp and the handle was wider. The next 5 SFO Bowies were etched by Aurum Etching. Some of them were made in fairly large numbers like the NRA Bicentennial Bowie and the Texas Ranger Bowie, while others like the Daniel Boone Bowie perhaps as few as 50. It's taken me quite a while and a lot of luck to add all 6 of these Bowies to my collection. Schrade made them all with wood handles by the way. I recently got all 6 back from Herman Williams who re-handled them in German Stag and file worked the top of the blades. The Texas Ranger has a serial # on the top of the blade so it was not file worked. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Had to reshoot the Condor Hudson Bay with my hawk.

Condor has been convexed with little sharpening choil and the hawk is Cold Steel Trail Hawk modded + with leather overstrike guard.
