Product is a handmade knife.  All measurements approximate.

Jeffrey Modell designed a bowie knife and gave the commission to W.C. "Bill" Johnson for construction.  Once Bill accepted the job, the blade was changed to his signature recurve proportions and grind, and Bill changed the handle to his

personal style.   At the conclusion of the project, Mr. Johnson kindly gave permission for Modell Design LLC to continue making the design.  This knife uses Jeff's original handle, which is slimmer and more of a traditional beak-butt  than Bill's, but retains Bill's famous blade shape characterized by specific aesthetically pleasing recurve proportions and a linear grind line parallel to the knife axis.
