What we visualize when we think of bowies is not necessarily true but more about whats be made popular through the ages.

Got to try out my new knife yesterday. Many thanks to John Worthington for his donation of this beautiful piece of cutlery to the Toby / CCF auction. I thought I had used a few sharp knives in my time hunting, but this piece is on a whole new level.

Ive got a similar model with walnut scales from John, it’s my favourite knife now.
I was thinking the same thing @Tahr looking at that. It's worth its own thread - whether to continue the cut up close around the bone and end up with the rump attached, or take it off as a separate cut - pros & cons ?
Yes, it's interesting. If I have a short bladed knife like a Mercator (which is hardly ever now) I sometimes take the rumps off when I do the back steaks, or I free them up from the top before I flip the animal over and take the legs off complete with the rump. If the knife has a bit of length (4"-5") I just take the rumps off with the legs with the animal on its back like usual.
The knife on the left is a plain looking Bark River (Kephart) but ideal for doing hind legs with the rump on them without any shagging around. Its one of my favourites. The one on the right can be a pain in the arse at times.

My latest knife sold, pretty proud and already blooded , ex venison butcher who is stoked with the performance ( tough first critic ) , two more under way now.
Both based on Bark River models, I will post as finished .
12c27 steel? I like the sharpening choil.
Yep 12c27 , choil / Spanish knot makes real world sharpening much easier, next two in 14C27.......watch this space:)

Sorry if this steps over a boundary by self promoting, not trying or wanting to step on any Attachment 124384ones toes.
There is a moratorium on buying rifles at my place at the moment. Knives were not mentioned so I made the only choice I could:PAttachment 124625
