Where to buy a cheap large bowie?

[timmberman]

I need a very large cheap bowie knife. Perferrably with intergral hilt. The knife will be abused and then some. Need a low cost Indian or Pakistani type bowie. Blade should be 11 to 13 inches.

Thanks for looking

Personally, I wouldn't get anything from Pakistan or India, no matter how much I intended on abusing it. Buy one of those big ole Beckers and have a knife that will last.

Smokey Valley Knife Works should fix you up with a pakastani Bowie for $5 or so.

Uh, DaveH, do ya mean "Smoky Mountain Knife Works"?

You can get a Cold Steel Trailmaster if you want a low cost bowie. Stay away from the Pakistan and India made.

Yep.. Stay away from this Junk! Have you considered a Machete? They are pretty inexpensive & can take abuse. You can get them in varying lengths to suit your needs.:thumbup:

Totally agree stay away from Pak, It's worth spending a little more. I 've abused my SOG tiger shark and love it.

It's not likely that a Pakistani bowie will stand up to any real abuse. Take a look at an Ontario machete (less than 20 bucks) or Becker combat utlility 7.
($45) Both are economical well made products that will give you years of service.
