Bowie knives
As a young man I worked full time using bowie knives at work iin a slaughter gang working on peacetime , so speed was the necessity. I watched other men at work and noticed that every few minutes they would stop to sharpen their knives on a steel . They would use an assortment of finely ground down knives very light with thin blades. I decided to go and buy a 9 inch bowie bullalo hunters knife . It was the best decision I could have made. After a while other slaughter guys asked I I could obtain the same type of knife for them which I did. I have worked on thousands of cattle , pigs sheep etc.in a couple of days over a number of years . You will not find a better knife to use for the job than a good bowie knife. .you don't have to keep Sharpening them and the weight of the blade does the work for you . I once saw a colleague cut a large pig clean in half with a six inch bowie knife I obtained for him. He cut it clean down the middle of it's backbone with little effort . I bought a 11 inch stag rough rider bowie from this firm and I would not swap it for a bowie which retails for 3 times the price. This knife for the price is unbelievable and up there with the best. I love the design. In the last week I have bought four 11inch bowies a 12 inch bowie 4 of which are Rough Ryders . I know my knives as I earnt a living with them and you want beat a bowie in my book. I love my bowie knives , little wondervthe old Buffalo hunters used them . They have so many uses it is unbelievable. ....those are the facts of the matter.
