The Barski Bowie

For over a decade I have been supplying nightmare to anyone who was brave enough to check out The Haunted Woods hosted by The Bear Den Zoo in Waterford Wisconsin. I play a character named Hector Barski. Hector is a serial killer to traps his victims and proceeds to do all sorts of unspeakable things to them with all sorts of unspeakable tools. The most infamous one of all is a 12” long Bowie style knife he made out of some scrap steel he had around his farm. The Barski Bowie was designed to instill fear and remove body parts. It is sharp enough to do the job but not enough to make it quick and painless which is sort of the point. I was asked, by a fellow actor at the woods, to make a copy of Hectors knife. I agreed. Here is the result.
