Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bowie Knife

That sucks.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and visited my friend's house. He would always open his dad's fancy, glass front, gun cabinet, located in his study, and show me his guns (He had a beautiful old collection). I was always enamored with the pre-war Winchester 94 carbine in .30-30. A real old beauty.

When me and my friend were adults, many years later, his dad died. Not wanting to be uncouth, I figured I'd wait a month or two before asking what was going to happen to that 94. When I finally asked, thinking I'd offer to buy it from his mom (or him, if he was in possession of it), he told me his mom had it auctioned off, and it was gone.

As I have kids in private school, farm land notes and plenty of other things to cut checks for every month, I try to be practical when I buy things for myself.
But, someday I hope to own a high end custom bowie knife. I think they are about the coolest knife ever made.
Great pics everyone.
