Dracula Bowie Knife

What kind of blade could take down the legendary villain Dracula? It would have to be a legendary blade itself. Funny enough in the original Dracula novel written by Bram Stoker he chose for that legendary blade to be the American Bowie knife (the Kukri was in there too, maybe that'll be another video someday). In todays video, I am bringing my version of that blade to life.
Thanks so much for watching, see you in the next video.
