  1. Looks like someone took their Cold Steel Trail Master San Mai lll to a blade smith- clipped the point (heavily), brass or gold plated guard and custom micarta coffin handle...pretty nice!
    Should check out their Natchez Bowie...

    1. Thanks for info and The Natchez is nice. :)

      "An officer of the New York 71st, who arrived this morning, details the particulars of the fight in a most graphic style. He states that in the first place, owing to the ignorance and stupidity of one or all the commanding officers, the various regiments were not kept together as they should have been, but became scattered about in every direction, and were in such a position as to render them almost harmless to the enemy.

      He says he never saw men fight as the Confederates did; 'twas not like men, but like infuriated devils. They rushed from their batteries, notwithstanding the statements to the contrary, and drawing their tremendous knives, they cut and slashed among the United States troops as though, in his language, 'they were mowing down weeds.'"

    2. Absolutely! You know, the censorship of southern culture didn't begin with the Battle flag but when Bowie's and Tennessee Toothpicks were "banned" from carry...
