Members minotaur Posted December 3, 2009 Members Report Posted December 3, 2009 So, knife experts... (Zwack and Storm) are these knives sharp, this one was not a razor sharp, but did have a useable edge... I am leaving it as it is... it looks like it had been sharpened once maybe... hard to tell since the edge is clean and even from the blued blade to the knife edge... the blade is nick free and has some staining on it but you can still read the maker name and maker mark.. J. Nowill & Sons Sheffield, England Established A.D. 1700 I think that is what is says, it is kind of light and right on the edge of the center portion of the blade.. nice heft and feels NASTY in your hand... GRIN! Thanks again for the comments and replys RJ Would have been razor sharp originally. Big debate which is number one but it is this and the Bowie fighting it out. Also the side ties on the sheath might be for arm/leg carry which was very popular for this knife. Quote
Members gunter Posted December 3, 2009 Members Report Posted December 3, 2009 Nicely done, liked what you did with the cross concho. Great kife, light in the hand, nasty in the body. (grin) Quote Once I moved about like the wind, but now I surrender.(Geronimo) Failure is always an option
