Commentary from Col. Dwight McLemore:
The Aragon family of Oaxaca, Mexico fashioned swords, machetes, and large knives for approximately 234 years. Their work spanned the late 18th, 19th, and early 20 centuries.
The designs of this family run business have come to represent what has been termed the "Mexican Bowie". The wide blades, ornate deer horn handles, and the mystical upswept clipped points give these weapons the feel of Spain.
The TAK Classic Bowie Trainer replicates one of these traditional designs of the late 19th century created by R.S. Aragon.
