This is my Aztec Bowie knife. I had read that the pre-Columbus natives of Central and South America used wood for some of their knives and swords. I was working with some Purple Heart wood that comes from there and I came to see how it could actually work for cutting people and critters. It inspired me to make my own version of a wooden knife. The Purple Heart woods' rich red-purple color and almost metal like hardness seemed appropriate for the leading edge. I originally put a sharp cutting edge on it when I was making it. I dulled the edge after I gave myself a semi-nasty cut while working on it. If I was to do it over I think I would shorten the blade portion 2 or 3 inches. Over All Length is 19 1/2 inches, the blade is 15 inches long.
The other Bad Ass Blade is on my ATAS North American Arms revolver.
The Beretta civilian M9 is there for size reference.
Making good people helpless won't make bad people harmless.
I made this one a few months ago out of some O-1 steel and a hunk of walnut a buddy brought back from the farm in Kansas.
