Cabela's early american bowies?

[Javelin]

Anyone use one of these yet? They look and sound great, the Texas bowie in particular catches my eye.

I think you may get more info on this offering in the General Knife Discussion forum...let's give it a shot.

The 1850 Bowie is this one, from Atlanta Cutlery, made by Windlass Steelcrafts:

I assume the others are Windlass, as well, but I could be wrong. Windlass quality is hit-or-miss, both in fit & finish and in heat treat.

Here's a link to an earlier thread on Windlass:
