Hi! I ended up with this mean piece of metal after buying a box with a mix of knifes on an auction. But I have issues finding any info on it, does anyone here have a clue?
Thanks!

You need to upload your pix to a photo hosting site and then post the here. There are tutorials on this forum to show you how. Use the search function.

Upload the images on Imgur, then link them here. We want to see the knife.
 
I've seen a few of these before. They're post WWII (Probably late 1960's - 1980's), and were made for various importers. The last one I saw was made for Gutmann Cutlery under their "Edge Brand" line. They are usable, but were probably sold mostly as display pieces and trade stimulators for dealers. Most of "Original Bowie" and "Remington" style import knives topped out at 12" blades.

Linder still sells a fancy huge "Original Bowie" style knife as their "Alamo Bowie".
