Good Morning and Shalom, one and all,
I am interested in buying a Recon Bowie and after reading previous threads on this knife, I have some questions:
1. Is Ben Baker still alive?
2. I understand he wrote an article on the SOG Bowies several years ago, is this article still on the internet? (all the links I tried came up empty) if not, where may I find it?
3. Anything new about the Recon Bowie since March 2002? This was the last posting I could find.
4. I found a Recon Bowie in a camping store in Jerusalem. Going price was about $400. Government customs have clamped down on importing blades over 10 inches. Got to get it while it's still hot!
Shalom to all, Yitzchak Ernst
 
Good Morning and shalom again,
Opps - made one tiny mistake. The Israeli customs is rejecting all blades 4 inches/ 10 cm, not 10 inches.Sorry.

Good evening!
That sounds like the old joke: "... everyone says this is 10 inches...":p blade that is...;)

At any rate, the Recon Bowie is a beautiful knife; almost feminine in its graceful lines (and deadly purpose!):D The Bowie is purposeful, the Recon graceful.

Get the impression I like the knife???:rolleyes:

Ron posted the article some time ago, but the link is broken...:( I think I copied it to my drive... I'll look, and e-mail it to you if interested, drop me a line.
