Looks like our job here is done.great im developing an addiction.
Kabar for sure.
I might be misunderstanding what you mean by "Bowie".
A true Bowie requires a minimum blade length of 10", with 12"-14" being standard.
A utility/combat knife with a clip point may be referred to as having a "Bowie style" blade, but it is not a true Bowie knife.
If you use the Buck 119 like a knife should be used, you will not have a problem. For under $50 you are not going to get much better than a Buck 119. Those 119's are tougher that you may think. Go to your local Wally world and pick one up for around $40 and test it out. It has a lifetime warrenty so I really don't see where you could go wrong.
