    Knife help please

    Here's a knife I run across in some of my Grandfathers belongings. I really know nothing about this one. Maybe a throwing knife?

    Sorry for the bad pic quality...dadgum cell phone pics. :P

    Yes thats it. Thank you Lucas and diggummup. I always wondered what was missing from the handle. It seems it was probably bone. Cool and great ID guys.

    Great old Bowie knife!
    Just because it did not work does not mean it was not a good plan!
