Bill and I go back to the old Soldier of Fortune days. His Bowie knives just come alive in your hand. We lost contact for a number of years, but we got back together and have shared a number of hunting trips over the past 7 or 8 years. At night we always worked with the knives. You might be amazed at how deadly one of these things is in the hands of someone who knows how to use one.

Bill is a great guy... (reply)

I need to get a copy of that book and one of his Bowies. He went with us on our Del Rio hunting trip and I got to know him pretty well. He sharpens a knife with a plain India stone and showed me how to do it. I have spent countless hours practicing and can't seem to get it so I just use my Spyderco sticks. They work well but not as well as he does it:)
