Bowie Knife

I didn't make this knife... yet...  I have been collecting knives as long as I can remember.  This is a Gil Hibben Bowie.  The blade is 14 inches long!  According to the paperwork that came with the knife it is comparable dimensionally to what they carried back in the 1800's.  I have some pretty big spring leafs... when I get a chance I'm gonna try to knock one of these bad boys out.
