We occasionally have a monster roach available and this is another exceptionally fine example! It has 3 rows of super long 10" porcupine hair in front and is 24" long! Expertly tied with red, blue & yellow striped deer hair both inside and out, it has a beautiful, matching clipped deer hair base of red, blue and yellow. It comes wrapped with an ace bandage on one of our custom ash roach sticks for proper storage. We very seldom have roaches with porky hair this long and this is one of a kind, so get it while you can! Another Super Roach from Crazy Crow!

Colonial Gaiters
A summer heat wave has wreaked havoc on our white gaiters! The dye on the horn buttons bled onto the nice white wool (see photo).
These gaiters were perfect but the heat of our bulk storage caused the mishap. We’re passing huge savings onto you, and these gaiters were bound to get dirty anyway, right? Our gaiters
are made of wool, measure 24" long and feature genuine horn buttons.

Fighting Blades of the Frontier
August 12, 2014 TRUEWEST Article by PHIL SPANGENBERGER
Since the introduction of Jim Bowie’s knife in the 1820s, the bowie has become the knife supreme of the American West. James Bowie’s famed fighting knife, the origin of which remains shrouded in controversy, has been woven into the colorful fabric of American folklore. But what exactly is a bowie knife?
Some arms students feel that a bowie can be any sheath knife with a clipped point, regardless of size. Others deem it to be any large knife, regardless of blade shape. The rest feel that virtually all sheath knives produced from around 1830 through the end of the 19th century qualify as bowies. Serious collectors seek out vintage knives with a clip-point blade, recognized as the classic form of a bowie knife.
While historians may argue whether James Bowie, his older brother, Rezin, or knife maker James Black actually produced the first true bowie blade, James deserves credit for bringing the edged weapon to the forefront. While no one knows for certain if his original knife had a clipped point, we do know James carried a large, single-edged knife with a sharp, false edge at the back of the point, allowing for an effective backstroke. Click the link below to read the entire well-illustrated article.
