Heavenly Carbuncles My Dear Rick -

I fear David Davis is just plain silly.
Howeverso can they claim it is a Bowie? It is clearly a folding Linoleum Knife!

MMMMMMMM  grapes!

I have seen some interesting Spanish (or Morrocan?) folding knives with hooked blades, and I seem to recall that styler amongst
the pantheon of India & Chinese edged weapons... But I stand firm on the Monsiuer Davis being silly to call it a "Bowie "  :-)

Say Rick, is the weather in the midwest far west as out-of-character for the time of year as it is in the southwest?

Yes it is,first Dec with no rain since early 80s and last year tons of snow on the sierras this this season NADDA!My cousin has a cabin up yonder and he always has to walk in to get to his place from the main road,he looked all over for a cushman trackster and drove all the way to Oregon to get one he found,redid what needed, painted it got it all ready for snow this year and nuttin! Some other friend rented a cbin six months ahead of time at Shaver Lake,he had the flue when he got there and no snow and they drained the lake to fix the dam,the air is awful here.

  Rick:  In my humble opinion, that is a pruning or grafting knife.  I have a smaller one made by Wostenholm .  Another clue that it is a pruning knife is the fact that the handle is all wrinkled!    Heh, heh!

Yep, a gardener's knife for pruning, grafting, budding and so forth. I've seen specimens that belonged to Washington and Jefferson, both keen gardeners like many planters.

My mother had two of those knives, (2 sizes) that she used for pruning and grafting roses. Her knives were from England made sometime back in the late 1920's.
