Bowies, Big Knives, and the Best of Battle Blades

Large Softcover, 2000, Paladin Press, 175 pages. Good+, in illustrated wraps. Moderate shelf/edge wear and light rubbing to covers. Faint curling and a few creases to covers. Spine is uncreased, but has a few tiny side bumps. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. 40 chapters and several B&W photographs. Here are the timeless observations and invaluable advice of master bladesmith and blade combat expert Bill Bagwell (the Elmer Keith of knives) under one cover for the first time. As the outspoken author of Soldier of Fortune's "Battle Blades" column from 1984 to 1988, he was considered both outrageous and revolutionary in his advocacy of carrying fighting knives as long as 10 inches and his firm belief that the Bowie knife was the most effective and efficient fighting knife ever developed. Candid and frank almost to a fault, he told it like it was - and he could always back it up. Sixteen years after his first column made its debut, Bagwell's convictions on knife design and blade technique have gained validity in the industry, and he has earned the respect of even some of his most vocal critics. A very handsome copy that will last for years to come. ISBN-1581601077.LOC SSM-05
