Hey HJK,

Not sure what your definition of affordable is - it's a term that varies widely from person to person. This George Tichbourne stag-handled D-Guard bowie at just over $400 would meet my definition of affordable. Great-looking knife. I think this one or one similar to it is pictured in Knives 2003. Heck - you wouldn't even have to pay import duties.

All the best,

Here is a pre-delivery photo of my new fighter (#0001) from Canadian maker Darren Chard. Actually, Darren and Murray White decided this is more of a bowie - so they have suggested re-classifying it as a "Fooie" or possibly a "Bighter". (Blame them, not me, for this semantic travesty.;) )

BTW, this knife is the first -- the FIRST -- fixed blade that Darren Chard has ever made. The workmanship is outstanding. (and I am Certified Anal-Retentive.)

:D :D :D
 
I love big knives. Im happy to see other folks do too. I actually have a Szabowie on order.

Check out this link. You might find something you like. The knives here are very nice imho and very affordable.

When you said affordable, big bowie I immediatly thought of this

It set me back a C-Note and another half for the sheath from Mike Sastre.
If Newt (Livesay/Wicked Knife Co.) has one in stock, you're good to go.
 
Ya might want to check out the John Fitch fighter bowie just listed in the for sale forums this morning. Guard is not as big as some of the others posted, but John makes one hell of a knife!
 
Dennis Riley forges some fantastic damascus Bowies. His attention to detail is top notch and his prices are outstanding.

Here is a link to pictures of a pair of guarded Bowies I custom ordered from Dennis. The wait from initial contact to delivery was about four weeks.
