BIG Bowie knives?

[C.S. Graves]

Himalayan Imports Cherokee Rose, if you want a large Bowie.

Beat me to it, Piso!

Uberti Rezin Bowie (9.2 inch blade) MSRP $329

Luverly! I very much enjoy the Searles/Fowler style bowies. Looks like something equally at home carving a roast 200 years ago or defending the Alamo to the bitter end. :thumbup:

The Al Mar 4009 "Alaskan Bowie" would be a nice addition. Somewhere from $250 to $450 on Ebay and such places.

I know I've posted this before but it is one of my favorite designs.

That's a beautiful knife, Bors. I love those sharpened clip swedges, even though they're only good for fighting.

Here's a design I've been photoshopping at for awhile now; I think I'll try and make it during the summer when I have the time and money.
Full-tang S30V, blued and stonewashed, 1/4" stock, 10 1/2" blade, sharpened clip.
Bolsters will (hopefully) be carved and etchd gibeon meteorite, handles will be black-dyed and stabilized wood with a similar texture, maybe Wenge or Black Ash Burl.
Opinions?

Somewhere a while back, someone here mentioned that it was one of these that was used by Pierce Brosnan in the movie Seraphim Falls.

Hey, while she may not be the prettiest girl at the party, the Marine Raider Bowie is a heck of a worker.

i know you said 8" or bigger, but as far as looks go - i've never seen a sexier bowie than the Recon Scout in San Mai III. a very close runner up would be the Gerber Australian Bowie with it's coffin shaped kraton handle (finding one might prove difficult, though). i love mine, but sometimes want something just a wee bit smaller. so, i just ordered an Ontario Gen II SP42. i know it's not really a bowie, but it's bowie(ish)
