More useful bowie

[alexanderkbaker]

I am looking for a more practical replacement for my Recon Scout. I would like a thinner, lighter blade, little to no guard, similar blade style, length, and price range. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin

You can try a 14 to 16 inches machete

You can also buy a khukuri

The Recon Scout is lighter and thinner than most knives in that category already. What blade length would you like?

You might want to look at the Finnish Ranger knife, the Sissipuukko. It has a somewhat long blade. It is differentially hardened for toughness. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=361682

Have you considered a ScrapYard Dog Father Combat Grade, Dog father Limited Edition or a Scrapper 6 all would make a good very practical replacement choice for the Recon Scout

I'll add the Ka-Bar Short Heavy Bowie. The handle on it is quite large and keeps your hand from slipping up, but doesn't get in the way of things like the guard on the CS bowies. Not pretty, but fairly comfortable.
Thinner stock, same full height grind, same blade style, lighter weight, good carbon steel, lower price. Only thing I don't like about my long Heavy Bowie is the sheath. It is absolute trash.

There's a nice bowie in the maker section of Blade forums now.
Good price for a custom.
I'd snag it myself but just bought a new custom bowie the same size.

Bark River Rogue might be what you want.
Nice production bowie,no guard,convex edge.
