    "I was a friend of Jim bowie." I loved that, wonder how many young people have no idea you're joking. Always love your content and humor. Keep up the great work!

    I have a special bowie knife my Dad made for me when I was about 7 years old. That was about 60 years ago. Great knives you have.
  • @afaella3
    What a beautiful collection I'm a Scout in the Army & I keep a Randall 1-7 within arms reach at all times, it's definitely the last knife I'd get rid of for more reasons than I could count.

    “Oh ya, this is a great gun for da’ fence” will literally never get old

    My Dads Randal fighting knife from the Korean war will never be sold! Still have the booklet and receipt paid 23$ with engravings! In the 50s
  • @wullgrew1
    I was honored to have one of my Bowie fighters included in a Knives Illustrated issue back in 2016 about the history of Jim Bowie. It was included in the Knives 2018 annual book as well.
  • @unclegene5372
    I wouldn’t sell any, but the Lile and the Randalls are irreplaceable and would never be let go. Just my opinion.
  • @auntester7760
    I appreciate you taking the time to do these videos. Anyone can tell the joy it brings you and conversely, the rest of us.

    Don't forget about Crocodile Dundee when he was in New York and this guy pulled a Switchblade out and Dundee said you call that a Knife and pulled out a Bowie Knife and cut his Michael Jackson Jacket off him LOL
  • @gregknight293
    Great show today ! I love seeing the knives that other people use or own just out of sheer admiration for its history or style. Whatever sentiments it holds for you. If for nothing else they are fun to just sit and grin at. Many thanks for sharing some great knives.

    11:54 i love that quote, "it is always loaded and it'll give you a few extra shots"
  • I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you for putting the time in to making and sharing them - subscribed. All the best, from Sydney, Australia.

    'The Iron Mistress' was a great movie. The blacksmithing scene was great. Alan Ladd was also in 'Shane' one of the best movies imo. The nickel, calvary Colt SAA he carried was gorgeous.
  • Would love to see more of this kind of stuff. I own a Schrade-Walden Buffalo Bill bowie made in the 70s. Back when Schrade made them here in the USA.
  • @snoogiepew
    I find it awesome that all these tactical youtube channels try so hard to appeal to an audience and don’t even have a fraction of Hickoks fan base. Just a guy having fun with guns.
  • Those are some great knives there Sir. Love watching your channel by the way. Have a great day.

    Waidblatt might be translated as 'hunting blade' - An old-fashioned word for 'hunter' is Waidmann. The Waidblatt was supposed to be able to perform as a chopper, eg. for clearing an overgrown ladder to a tree stand (many hunters in Germany have rather permanent tree stands) or for cleaving the pelvic bone when processing game etc.
