Bowie knives are for those who have a need greater than a folder, but less than that of a machete. Not a large window of opportunity, but they R 'pretty' if your into collecting, and some ppl just prefer them over the rest.

I have managed for a while without having had one .. till now
After a lot of hunting around I found a guy in Pakistan who makes and sells knives to him he is asking a fortune , to me they are pretty dam cheap ...
I bought a bunch of nice looking folders with carbon steel / damascus steel blades , and he sent me some freebies , the stuff that the big western importers USUALLY buy
so now , I have what came labeled as a bowie
I have NO IDEA what I am expected to do with such a knife , but the price was right , I guess , I wont argue at free anyway
What I was importing was a bunch of these , this one is my new EDC and it is SWEET as !! ( In my opinion anyway ) the rest bar one are long gone allready ... and they only been in Aus for a day or so ...

Of course you need a bowie knife. I've been carring one since I was 12. A decent one really can take the place of a hatchet or machete. Ever watch "man vs wild"? He's always using his little knife for stuff that would be much easier with a big knife. You can chop fire wood or butcher game with it. They are great.
