If you're looking at mmhw, now's the time.
Randall's are nice, but pricey.
There's a member here that makes (or made) some nice bowies. Don't remember his screen name, offhand - I'll see if I can find it...but you should check out the Knifemaker's section of the Exchange.
 
there is always something 'right' about good bowie designs, they somehow resonate aesthetically in a way that belays simple description... sort of like curves on a woman, if I can be slightly non pc
