Just ordered this See several similar but slightly different knives in video and on Amazon Saying this knife order will be 2-3 months out Wouldn't mind running couple questions by re this knife and some of the others. Thx.
@@USAKnivesForest I like the Iron Mistress pattern. I ordered this particular model because it looked like the more substantial: 12" blade, thicker spine, wider (in appearance), full tang, and sharpened clip. In terms of aesthetics I might actually prefer the bone or yellow handle, so I wasnt sure if that was an option on this blade or if the Micarta might be a tad more resilient/practical. One question I had about this blade is that it says "12 inch blade" but there is a longer non-cutting section near the handle, I think it is called the bolster, that is being included in this 12" measurement?
Interesting, looks like a small broadsword. Without actually handling that bowie and using it a bit, I'd stick with my khukuri if I wanted a chopper that big.. again, just based on what we see in this vid... Actually I decided years ago that a 12" khuk and a smaller- 4"-5" blade do about everything I need to do with a knife. A good khuk WILL do it all in a pinch if a smaller blade isnt available. That's my own experience with 60+ years of knife use.. 🤠

Actually these knives manufactured on customer orders so it takes time but it’s same like in the video

Yes overall length is 12” of the blade

U can buy it
Link in description Thankyou
I've seen the original from the Alan Ladd film , blades not that wide.
Indeed, sir, you are correct. We must adapt and introduce design variations as time progresses.
