A 'one off' from Ted Frizzell at Mineral Mountain Hatchet Works. I got this from the original owner who ordered it in 2000 and it's been in his safe ever since. No sheath with this one.
It's a massive Rio Grande (spear point) style bowie with bone handle scales. Unparkerized as requested by the original owner. (I emailed John at Mineral Mountain who seemed surprised at the bone, seems Ted doesn't use bone alot. He told me that as far as he can remember Ted hasn't ever had a Rio Grande style bowie as a regular cataloged item.)
Here are the specs:
OAL - 15 1/8"
Steel thickness - 1/4" thru handle tang
Blade length (tip to guard) - 10 1/8"
Cutting edge length - 9 1/2"
Unsharpened false edge - 4 3/8
Here are a couple of pics, I have a few more ... email me if interested. I'm asking $325.00 for this beauty, that includes all fees, insurance and shipping in the CONUS.
Thanks for looking.
Jim
