Can somebody help me id this knife I found in the barn?
It says something that ends an AL i’m going to assume it says original and then Bowie knife the handle looks like it’s got a few scratches but the blade is rusted like it sit up there for years
It might be one of them Solingen Bowies that say “Original Bowie Knife” on the blade. This one looks heavily used at any rate, it’s lost a lot of blade depth. These were made by several makers, Hubertus being one. Never seen one with that kind of handle though.

Somebody always pointed you in the right direction
Just a curious thought. I wonder if that blade was hardened across the whole of it. Because I’ve had a few knives that really only were edge hardened and once I sharpened I’d away about 1/3 inch, no more edge. Just softness. Just a thought before you move forward. Maybe see if it’s even hard. Easy guides to find out on Google.
