Nimrod,
The Field Fighter was a Robert K. Spear designed 9 1/2" bladed Bowie with a sharpened false edge and a wide guard that sloped towards the the point to act as a blade catcher. First production run was a disaster with many knives returned. Do not know if they made any additional runs.

Mike, tknife: Thank you so much for the information. Based upon what you are saying it does not appear as though it would be something I am going to pursue. I do not have any "china case queens" and use (sometimes abuse) everything I have. One would think that Dick would have wanted and could have gotten pretty much the best and thought that was the case here.
In a 9" it's hard to beat the Busse Basic 9 or Chris Reeve Shadow I without going cu$tom. Thanks again for the info and feel free to correct my impression if I'm off base.
