...Jake, the Dowell is very special, I love how rounded and comfortable the handle looks.

Thanks Jeff, it definitely is comfortable. The curves of the frame fit the natural folds of your palm when you grip it. Although, I will say it’s a little slippery at times because of how smooth everything is. Of course I keep it pretty well buffed also haha.

ED, that's an interesting blade shape. I guess it's technically a spey, but it almost looks like it's halfway between a drop point and a spey. Nice swedge, I like the match striker pull, the bone looks great, and I think the bail is a nice touch. Heck, all around, that's one good looking knife! :thumbsup:

Thanks. Yes, it is a spey blade but I group it with my 71 Bull Nose knives in pictures etc..
 
Tens of thousands of Sheffield men died in the trenches and on the battlefields of World War One. If nothing else, I trust most of them will have had a good knife in their pocket. At least two of my great grandfathers died in France, with a third wounded, (the fourth I’m not sure about). I recently came across a photo of my wounded great grandfather, aged 32 here, and a Sergeant in the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry.



He was an experienced soldier, who had spent many years in the British Army, fighting in Africa, and re-enlisting in WW1. He died before I was born, and I don’t know what knife he carried, but he may have carried one like this in WW1.



Have a good Sunday folks :thumbsup:
