Sam Lurquin MUSSO Bowie With Paul Long Sheath ( VIDEO)

Love it.

I have seen more than a few of these over the years. I would vote this as my favorite from an aesthetic stand point.



I have always wondered if the sparring bar limits the cut in a bigger target. I feel like the step/shoulder might cause drag in a target like a mat, or pig (person analogue).

Joe, have you ever cut with one?

I always enjoy your videos, from fishing, to bows, to knives and sheaths.

Thanks for sharing.

(I keep hoping to hear that Sam's missing dagger pops up!)

Thank you for the kind words

I like to speak of things I like and luckily there are other wackos like me that like the same stuff :)

As for the sparing bar I can only speculate

I would think do to this knives keen edge and awesome blade geometry due to the radical distal taper etc that once the three inches of blade sailed thru its target the small step of the guard would not imped to much

I do believe these sparing bars where more of a statement than a true advantage

It would make some sense in a time of hand to hand combat where someone might be swing a saber or thrusting a bayoneted rifle at you

Plus it would make for a neat part of a blade to drive tent pegs etc and even to baton against

Who knows the real truth and that is why the MUSSO Bowies legend has endured
 
Thanks for the response Joe.

I definitely like the look, even more so with the Damascus in place of brass.


You have more neat toys, and life experiences Joe! You must be doing something right!
 
Joe: A truly awesome blade with style and menace. I like the clip a lot and Sam's sculpted handle really makes it work. Paul's sheath is just right, with a lot of detail for such a big expanse of otherwise unadorned leather highlighted by the matching stud. By the way, it didn't look like coffee to me that energized you, just a grown up kid who is who is so happy he's about to burst. Enjoy.
 
In the context of a fighting knife, I would expect that by the time drag of the sparring bar through a cut became an issue, the fight would be quite conclusively over. :)
 
A magnificent piece Joe, and it has gone to the right home where it will be appreciated and loved. The detail of work in this knife is amazing and beyond belief. It really is a phenomenal piece of work.

I really need to talk to Sam sometime in the future about adding one of his knives to my collection.

I really enjoyed the video mate but the next time I see you I think I need to take you shopping for some new shirts. That one looks like you changed a cars engine in it! LOL:D

All the best bro.........:)

My dear friend

It was 90 degrees so that was sweat my friend not oil :)

Your kind words are always appreciated

Hope all is well
 
Very cool Bowie and video. Always love seeing a design explained and presented in detail, especially for those of us not familiar with the entire Bowie history. If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then a video is worth a million. Sam did a great job on this one and Paul did this blade justice with that sheath.

Thank you

I love Bowie lore and the MUSSO has lots of it :)
 
Incredible Lurquin MUSSO, Joe, your threads are always spectacular !

What can I say that hasn't already been said…
You are so right, imo, about other Musso examples, the damascus furniture on Sam's is perfect.
Paul's sheath is just right for your latest masterpiece, love it brown on black sharkskin with that ultra-cool carry stud.
Thanks for showing us. :thumbup: :)

Thanks El

I'd love to cut with it

Maybe next time I soak matts for some sword cutting I'll give it a go :)

With hunting season coming I need to be shooting my recurve and I haven't shot it since the Muzzy Tournament a month ago
 
That would have to be one of my all time favorite knives!

It looks incredible, the video puts the size of that beast in perspective, thanks for that.

Have a great Bow season.

That Bowie is very impressive. Sam has the magic. How is the sparring bar attached, if you know?
 
Thanks for taking the time to make the video and sharing Sam's wonderful work with us. It's always enjoyable to watch when someone as passionate as you is presenting.
