Received these recently, all in the "big Bowie" genre. Top to bottom:

Cold steel San Mai Trail Master
Windlass 1880 bowie
Devil's Edge Boar Tusk Bowie.

All 3 are utilitarian combat/field/ camp knives with blades 9 inch plus. First impression is all 3 are well made and suitable for use and come with good sheaths. None will win any beauty contests, and the Windlass has amateurish fit and finish, both wood to metal and metal to metal. The Boar's tusk has no markings. I guess they want to stay in the "Pakistani Junk" class, even thought the knife is a notch better!

I'll try them out and do reviews soon.

Nice, looking forward to the reviews! ...The f&f on my Windlass 1880s wasn't bad, rather good, I'd say.

Now follows the conclusion, that whosoever shall think or find himself in his fight too weak for the agent's, or patient agent, and therefore, or by reason of his drunkenness, or unreasonable desperateness shall press within the half sword, or desperately run in of purpose to give hurt, or at least for taking of one hurt, to give another, shall most assuredly be in great danger of death or wounds, and the other shall still be safe and go free.
- PARADOXES OF DEFENCE, George Silver, 1599

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
