I also would like to know more about the Bowen Knife Company. I have four knives by this company -- a large folder with stag scales; a stag handled fixed blade that is in sort of a Loveless style; a "survival" knife with a skelton handle; and a smaller folder. The company is mostly known for making the "belt buckle knife", and still makes this knife, but I don't believe the current company is the original owner of the name. While I haven't put any of these knives to heavy use, they seem to be well made.
