Anyone collect Bowies?

[GSPTOPDOG]

Just for good measure... here's another Bowie from my stash to show off... it's nutt'en fancy but it has a lot of heft to it...

Sure does look good! I'm assuming it's decked out in wood...but what species?

Thanks Dan and Ken! I think it is walnut or rosewood...

Excellent!

I don't consider two a collection. I have a few large fixed blade knives but in my opinion they are not Bowies.

Both good looking knives, Jerry.

I've got this Winchester, I just don't collect very many of the large fixed blades knives.

In hand, what's not to love. You should get one so you could appreciate it up close and personal.

Got one! But mine has an "antique ivory micarta" handle.
I guess it could be considered a bowie as it is a fighting knife.

Oh my!! You done good!! And would you believe that in the late '70s/early '80s that probably retailed for $60 or $70 or somewhere in that neighborhood.

I am down with them Blackjacks! Those are great knives! .... I wish I had picked up a few more about 15 years when I had the chance and those prices...

I was carrying this one out in the desert today.

About 10 years ago I was procrastinating over buying a $79 Blackjack Tac-Ops 4 at SMKW, and then just like that, they were all gone.
