Big blade bowie?

[knuckles666]

Can anyone recommend a decent bowie with a blade around 12/13" long?

I recall seeing the odd one in my time, but can't remember any names.

The Texas Toothpick style is mostly what I'm after.

Thanks

I don't think anyone offers greater value than Ted Frizzell. This meets your description, albeit recurved: http://www.plan-a.org/mmhw/pigtrail.htm

Look at the other stuff he has, particularly the one-offs.

In a production bowie there are, among many others, the current production Marbles Outdoors
Trailmaker and the older Mike Stewart made MSA Trailmakers that can still be found. However the Trailmaker blade isn't much more than 10". A longer production bowie would a Bagwell.......in the 11" range.
Best of luck with your serch...it should be fun !

Have a look at Randall knives.

I have a Model 12 Smithsonian Bowie excellent knife I know it's not what your looking for but they also make a Model 13 "Arkansas Toothpick" with a 12" blade that might be what your looking for. You can't go wrong with a Randall.
