Here is a picture taken when I had some fellow faculty out to field test weapons that would have been used in historical fights and duels in frontier Arkansas.
Pictured is a history prof having a go at a gallon milk jug full of water with my bowie knife.
The knife is from http://www.Polkknives.com, and has a 9 inch blade with elk antler handles.
This was the first time the prof had taken a swipe with the knife.
Note the bottom half of the jug still sitting solidly in place with water still in it.
Bowie knives are bad......very, very bad............
Can you imagine two big, strong, angry frontier backwoods guys going at each other with such instruments of destruction?
Egads............
