How could I forget this knife?
Purchased for $19.95 at Wall Drug in South Dakota on a family vacation to Yellowstone National Park in 1976, this Bowie knife is huge and heavy! Not exactly your typical pocket knife, this one has an 8 inch blade with an overall length of 13.5 inches and came with a leather sheath.
Is it sharp? Well, yes and no. While it is impressive looking, it's not a very good knife for holding an edge. The steel isn't all that good and the bright chrome finish has tarnished pretty badly over the years. When it was new, it was pretty impressive looking, but again, it was more for looks than function.
