Comments: Roderick Caribou Chappel created what most custom knife makers strive for… a distinct look. Best known for his sweeping grinds and sculpted handles, this knife features both. Rod’s signature knife and Les’ favorite design – the Hunting Leopard Bowie. This one was made in August 1972 in Spokane, WA, when he worked in his uncle’s shop (Davis Brothers). Roderick Davis was his maternal grandfather. Les is a huge fan of Chappel’s work!! Because you’ll ask, the guard is 6″ wide.
