thanks for the kind words.

with a name like 'jim', a bowie would seem to fit

my 'user' is a bit newer and considerably cheaper, got two of these carbon steel Mora's (e.jonsson) for under $10.

the grip is actually wood under that paint, i've cleaned it off the other one and it appears to be birch. while i've got a few bowies, they are not really field knives, not unless you're in a combat zone anyways.
