Mexican? spanish? or maybe Philippine bowie?
1 Attachment(s)
This is my last adquisition, this bowie I just win in Ebay. I´n not sure where is his origin. The description is "12-1/2" overall, about 7-1/2 cutting edge, weighs 6 ozs, The blade's magnetic but the other parts are not (possibly silver?).
The larger part of the handle looks like walnut wood and the smaller like an opaque plastic - with the natural-looking flaws in both parts I'd not be surprised if they were bone though... " In the blade has engraved "SOY TU DEFENZA" and this, more or less is spanish and mean "I´m your defense" I have 2 knives very similar like this from Philippines. Someone coud help me? best regards carlos http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT |
my initial reaction was filipino, but the engraving of the jaguar, etc. looks mexican.
found these mexican bowies on this site: Linky that look very similar, turned grips, etc |
This is Mexican and not Filipino. The handle can be confusing and I can understand.

Thanks for the information!! and the age of the knife?
thanks again carlos |
The engravings look cool. I like it. :) Nice grab!
