Hi, I'm new in this forum, I'm from Spain, and I want to thank you because I've been reading you during the last year and has been really helpful.
Well, the question is easy, I'm looking for a new BIG Bowie knife, and I really like the aesthetics of old west Bowie knives, not modern. Now I'm between two knives, CS 1917 frontier Bowie or the Von tempsky Bowie. Which of these is better? I know that they are not the same, they have different utilities, the tempsky it's more like a survival knife (or I'm wrong?). I do not use a knife usually in the field, but I want a good, reliable knife, that can be used for "everything" (obviously there's no knife that can be used for everything). I know the CS has 1055 steel blade, and the tempsky says "high carbon steel blade", anyone knows the carbon on the tempsky blade? My budget it's around 200$ and up to 300$ (no more). Which do you think it's better, the CS or the Tempsky? Any other good option??
Thank you!!
