Will trade for Bagwell Bowie, name your boot:



Ruana Deluxe Bowie at top, 9-1/2" blade, 20 ounces.
Ruana Early American Bowie at bottom, 11-1/2" blade, 30 ounces.
Will throw in the handmade scabbard for the heavier one, factory sheath for the lighter one.
Concealed carry of either of these will require the Bill Bagwell style of sheath, inside the belly sash or belt.
Do not try sticking it down a pants leg, keep it outside of pants.



VH: Initials of Vic Hangas, son-in-law of Rudy Ruana who founded Ruana Knife Works, Inc., in Bonner, MT.
Vic's sons still run it. R.I.P. Vic and Rudy.
Here is the biggest Bowie in their catalog, the "Classic Bowie" with 14" blade, their interpretation of Jim Bowie's original:



I learned leathercraft, self taught, while in prison.
The prison I was in did not offer a leathercraft program.
Had to do something to relieve the boredom of prison life.
I even made myself a leather prescription pad cover.
Retirement from prison life sure has been great.

Everybody needs a Bowie and a .458 Winchester Magnum.
They go together like peas and carrots.
They are required equipment for all Knights of the Crusade for Truth.
