I just acquired a Southwestern Bowie in maple.

I am very happy with this one--absolutely beautiful in every way. My first bowie, too.

Big thanks to Jerry Fisk and to Camillus for the idea and the execution!
 
Congratulations!And you picked a great one!OVB Fisk Southwests are too pretty to use. :thumbup: :) :cool:
 
Summerland,
IMHO the Camillus OVB line of knives are the best knives that Camillus makes.
I have most of them in my collection and will continue to buy them as they come out.
Good Collecting !

Arent they great!!
Bueatiful lines. Just the right thickness steel.
Love mine.
I had to take it out to play.
 
If there is one thing I HATE about the Fisk OVB's: fighting the temptation to USE them! LOL!!

I have a couple of the 11" and the 7" (maple and ironwood), and they are just so nice to handle, and I've cut some cardboard with them. I just feel like USING them on wood or whatever I happen to have around, but I don't want to hurt their "mint condition."

I think I'll just get a couple more, and use those, but DANG that's expensive!
 
used mine for camping, chopped, split some wood and rolled the edge on a hard knot... (pine) still shaving sharp though:D

look at fehrman knives for hard using outdoor knives...

Why would you buy a knife and not use it? A knife is for using or it is wasted, IMO.

They're a limited run so I think their value will go up in time. I have user knives for hard use.
