Large Bowie knives of that decade shared a long clip and a heavy blade. Rosewood was a premium handle stock in American and English cutlery. Thin colored spacers separated wood from metal on better grades. Divine Knives keeps both details on a modern build.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRosewood Handle Fullered Alamo Bowie Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe serrations on the clip give you a rasping edge.
