Thanks, Mike. I appreciate it.

I have heard two different theories about the handle angle. One is as you say. The other was that it kept your hand back on a slashing swing of the knife allowing more of the cutting edge to work. Who knows which Bowie had in mind when he designed it. Either way it was unique.
