I collect a lot of Bowie knives in all types of styles, and sizes and I have to say that this NedFoss Blade is one of the coolest for the money. I have knives a lot larger, longer, and that cost me less but this one just has a nice feel and size to it. I love that it has fullers on both sides, the patina on the guard and pommel are both great and the guard itself is very nice. The sheath isn’t anything to write home about but at least it leather. All in all for the money if you are a collector I say it’s a must have.
