Folding Bowie

[stabman]

If there is one take away from this discussion, it is to not get a Gerber Paraframe =).

Yes!
I got two of them of them for free, the small one, and the large one.
Although I got them for free, I felt ripped off.
I vote it for one of the worst production knives (other than dollar store folders) ever made.

I guess I'm the oddball here, I have a 16yr old Paraframe and it's a decent folder. IIRC it was $40 from AG Russell. Definitely not what the OP is looking for.

Take a look at JAGCustoms Buck 110s - pricey but pretty cool, they are making a billet ti one. There is even a discount contest on those now:

I gotta second the Giant Mouse GM2. I think it's the must attractive Bowie folder currently available.

I have a 0392BOWIE coming in the next few days.

I also have an XM24 Bowie and a Spyderco Schempp bowie that are excellent.

I wanted to give you all a follow up with what I had decided. I just placed an order for a Hinderer.
HOWEVER, after seeing all the recommendations a couple of knives I've seen here suddenly fell on my short list of knives to buy. The one month wait now begins. I am giving myself a one knife per month limit (depending on price).

View attachment 725110 View attachment 725111 Camillus and/or Darrel Ralph made/make folding bowies. Unfortunately the shortest blades were 5 1/2". The longest ones were 9".

That is a neat design.

The limited edition GMP2 (full ti) is even nicer than the GM2:

That Giant Mouse is really climbing my list
