J. Movilli Custom Bowie 7"

[Alfredo]

Hi everybody,
today me and my wife decided to spend our St. Valentino's Day (or at least a part of it :-) walking next to a little river, named Stizzon, not so far from our house. This was a good excuse for me to do any test with my Jarno Movilli Custom Bowie. Any specs of the knife: blade lenght 7", steel A2, handle Amboina wood and SeaCow, construction hidden tang. Jarno have done this knife for me any months ago, but I ever had time to test it properly...this situation need to be fixed ;) ....

Well, let's go to start.
The "test field" :-)

we walked 2,0 hours about to reach this place...

Jarno's bowie has a classic, evergreen design...

I used two different options to carry the knife, both were comfortable in my opinion

a sunny, warm day...

several times we need to cross the "river"...this time was easier due to the "bridge" :lmao:

chopping time, this branch was 3"1/2 diameter or so

I used my homemade firestarter to light the fire

time to leave...sure the fire was out :-)

at home, clean the blade with water was sufficient...

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6186/dscf67561.jpg (http://img707.imageshack.us/i/dscf67561.jpg/)
All in all a fine blade, light, but sufficently rough when needed.
Hope you enjoi! Ciao from Italy!!
