Chances are your referring to a post war grinding on the top of the blade. Real Bowies are hard to find and most often WKC. Lance for Russ

Zorro,

So far, I have never seen a bowie style HJ knife here in Europe. It appears to be an "American modification" turning the WWII knife into a post war hunting "skinner".

Best greetings,

Herman


You never have enough HJ-knifes!

Ron can correct me but I believe there are period cataloges, late edged weapon production time to be sure, that show the WKC Bowie blade. Russ

Russ thanks for the help on the HJ dagger.It seems as if they wre late war also without motto.I tend to stay away from that odd ball stuff or super rare,unless the person just wants that creepy thing out of the house.Thanks again
