There's a Cold Steel Laredo Bowie around here somewhere I got for cheap.
I have a Randall #14 Attack that I think is absolutely the shiznit.
If I can find it, there's a Muela Bowie Piggyback set, too; though I bought mine over 20 years ago and the knives are a little different from the ones in the picture. Mine have wooden handles for one thing.
Hanging on the wall in my basement are some other bowie knives. There's a cheap Pakistani bowie of the same pattern as KiltedClaymore's knife. Oddly enough, the Pakistanis apparently made a good one by accident when they did this one. I've no idea what scrap metal they used for the blade, but it is very hard and very tough. There's a pair of souvenier knives an old friend had made in the Philipines during WWII (the big one). They have buffalo horn handles and follow the general south Pacific style in construction, but the blades are definitely American-style bowies.
also found out that in the late 1830's, several southern states passed anti-bowie knife legislation attempting to curtail the manufacture and sale of the implements. In 1837, the Alabama legislature imposed a $100 transfer tax on bowie knives and stipulated that any killing with a bowie knife was murder regardless of the circumstances (Cramer 1999)
Here's a knife I brought back from the Oregon Knife Show last April, next to a
3" model 36 for scale. It was the artist's first show and i just liked the work.
Dave P, heck of a good pigsticker there. Those Randalls are beee-yooots.
I wouldn't be surprised if JS was the technical advisor on the first Crocodile Dundee film, when they got to "that's not a knife; now THERE's a knife" scene. At's a biggun.
P.S./hijack: I have that same Desert Cruiser folder. It's one of my 3 favorite large folders, and one of my top 6 or 7 favorites of any folder. It's just very aesthetically pleasing, as well as highly functional.
