This movie is set after the civil war with Pierce Brosnan being chased by Liam Neeson for reasons you dont find out till much later. Brosnan uses a nice big recurve stag handled bowie which looks like a muela to survive in the wilderness while being chased and to take out his pursures. The big knife is seen on him or in his hands in almost 90% of the shots with him. It's a good movie even if the ending does get alittle odd.
