Louis? What who made the coffin handled Bowie in this photo

maybe not.

just be hella careful

Well. My Father Got it in hand to hand combat with a Japanese officer and as the officer raised it above his head to slice my dad in half my dad who was out of ammunition turned his M1 carbine around and held it by the barrel swung it like a baseball bat and hit him in the side of the head and jaw killing him instantly

Lemme check

good heavens.

My dad was so pumped up it was a mano a mano.. do or die affair and he said he took the sword and I’m sorry to be so graphic but literally dug that Japanese captains 4 gold teeth right out of his head with his own samurai sword

I'm too short to grab it

I swear.. I still have two of those gold teeth in a memory box from my father

It’s just weird that I’ve kept them but I have to

damn. I dont blame you, its a part of your history

Can you imagine that kind of hand to hand combat I just can’t believe my father did that when he was 21 years old

I've got lots of swords most are Antique or really good reproduction, before I was into guns I collected those. I also have a ww2 NCO Japanese katana

He lived .. the Jap died

Wow. Nice CZ

no I cant, my great grandpa did the same thing, but he wasnt so lucky. He got shot and run through with a bayonet in hand-to-hand, but survived by God's grace.

Most of my swords are in storage

I have this sword hanging right above the mantle of my fireplace

nice.

I had it refurbished and sharpened by a very old Japanese sword Smith in Phoenix he charged me $300 to completely refurbish and re-sharpen the blade but when it came back you could split a hair it was so good he told me it’s a special Japanese sharpening technique only used on good folded steel samurai swords

my grandpa hung the rifle he was shot with up too. Grandma wouldn't let him hang the bayonet on it though <:KEK:795742276549607456>

or a similar one

Damn. He got the rifle he was shot with that’s cool

I do too a reproduction of a NCO csa sword and a windless current production of the kukri for those cool gurkhas

wow

Nice BOGWELL. BOWIE

Yeah nice Bowie oof my friend

Kukris are bad ass knives there was some knife makers here in Arizona at the last gun show that we’re making Kukris and they were pretty damn good and they only wanted like $140

I should’ve picked one up

I might buy a stiletto soon

I love the look of them

I have been looking at stilletos too. There is just something about how they look and feel

I’ll sell you that Smith and Wesson stiletto in my knife pack for 80 bucks that’s about half price and it’s a folder

👀

Agreed, kukris are awesome weapons. one of my friends is restoring one, and good lord, that thing is heavy.

For an edc stiletto try a cold steel tri-lite..good AUS 8 steel and g10 handles

I'll look at them

One swing of that Kukri though and somethings getting cut off
