Favorite bowies?

[Seriousbladeno1]

Well,that's not at all historically correct, but it is intetesting to hear what you base your definition on.

My definition would involve what Bowie era Bowies looked like.

I would personally refer to those Bowies rather as to Antiques

So what would you call a modern knife that actually resembled onr of these "antiques"?

Antique design knife

Classic could also refer to such a knife made by well established,widely known manufacturer with rather long history in making knives and to particular model being tested and proved by many, over long period of time as very functional, effective design...

So the Bowie era knives were not based on time-tested and proven designs?

 

[marcinek]

What I understand by term of "classic" Bowie style knife in my own words is the knife,which plain and simple design is reminiscent very much to old western style Bowie shaped blade (without any fancy,or modern additional features incorporated within blade or handle).

Like fullers and clip points?

That would be Ebbtide's knife (and modifications). Ebbtide has some of the sweetest knives around.

Well if we are throwing the sub $200 stipulation out the window...



Some from Bruce Evans

The Rose NY Bowie from Flayderman's Bowie book

and its case

Bruce Evans sure makes beautiful Bowieknives and that Peter Rose replica is simply awesome!


My latest big knife is the Bark River 7" Custom Bowie model A.

I'm very pleased with it, as it's made to be a user for tough jobs.

For off the shelf production knives, the Fällkniven NL series are availible almost allover the World.

No NL's have so far come back to FK in pieces.
Personally I think they are at the top, when looking for production knives.

A real beauty IMO:

THE classic, by which all Bowies are judged.

Simple, effective, beautiful... :thumbup:

 

[Ebbtide]

One from Newt Livesay
Patterned after a Civil War relic he had


10" of 5160

And one from the late 1800s just for fun, even if it is little...

Thank you BladeScout!
Mikael, that is one glorious piece of stag there!

I agree!
I believe it came from the personal supply of TKC's owner Dale Stoops and once again he delivered top Stag!
Not an easy thing to do with todays shortage of good Sambar Stag.
