Western's rendition of the Collins Marine Raider Bowie. The literature that came with mine described the steel as a vanadium carbon steel. It sharpens fairly easily and holds an edge quite well. I think I gave close to $100 for mine, but that was new in box and 25 years or more ago.
 
These were made in the 60's and 70's....very popular with armed forces in Vietnam. I've seen them sell for $150.00 up, depending on condition and if it has a box.
