This stag bowie at the top is a circa 1965 stag handled Bagwell Bowie, the first year he made knives. It has a 10" blade, brass guard and end cap. The second knife is a Bagwell Hells Belle made for me by Bill Bagwell and delivered after a two year wait in 1999.

This damascus bowie is actually Mike Sastre's Bagwell Damascus Belle which is the sister/brother of my Bagwell damascus bowie delivered Feb.04 after a two year wait. Mikes, pictured here, was made immediately after mine and is 3/4" shorter than the one delivered to me which has an 11 1/4" blade.

This picture is the same stag handled knife as it appears in the first url. It was taken from the website where I bought the knife a few months ago.

The bottom knife with it's edge facing up is my "Brown Bowie" made by J. D. Malloy of Pennsylvania. It is D-2, 12 inch blade by 2 1/2" wide with a handle of black linen micarta and nickel silver spacers and 316 stainless guards. It is flat ground. This was made for me in 1988 and was featured at the NY Custom knife show that year as well as professionally photographed there before being submitted to a major knife rag where it appeared 6 months later.
The bowie above it is a handmade blade made from a leaf spring from a Model A sometime in the 1930's by a mountain man in Montana. It sports a 13 inch blade, razor sharp, with walnut slabs for handles, it's full tang with brass fittings.
