A Bowie-Dick test is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate the efficacy of sterilization processes, particularly in steam sterilizers. It consists of a specific test pack containing a chemical indicator that changes color when exposed to steam under specific conditions. The test helps ensure that air has been effectively removed from the sterilization chamber and that steam has penetrated the load adequately, which is crucial for achieving proper sterilization of medical instruments. Regular use of the Bowie-Dick test is essential for maintaining quality control in healthcare settings.

What knife did he use in last of the dogmen?

It was a Mini-Bowie made by Dick Patton of Patton Knives. They actually used two different versions of the knife in the movie, a clip point and a spear point. The blade shapes appear so similar that it is difficult to tell which is which in some shots. Dick's son, Rob Patton, still makes the knife in both blade styles, though he has not been very active since Dick passed away in 2010. A former apprentice, Gary Hicks, who worked for Dick for many years, also builds an accurate copy of the Mini-Bowie and does a very nice job.
