I'm putting some bowies i've acquired over the years up for sale to begin 2020. All knives will ship with a fresh coat of Renaissance wax. Not for sale to jurisdictions illegal to own. If interested in these knives, please email me a bowieknive AT gmail.com. Payment by Paypal as purchase transaction only (no friends and family). It shows that I have no feedback on Bladeforums, but I believe I've bought and sold on here before. I've also bought and sold on JerzeeDevils.
Additionally, I've got 100% feedback on ar15.com under the same name (25 transactions) and I've got 100% feedback on eBay with the username drummer1836 (88 transactions).

The first is a Kevin Cashen bowie. It has about 9.5 inches of sharpened edge and is about 10.25" to the guard. It is about 15 and 3/8" long overall with a wide 2" blade that is trademark for Cashen. It is roughly .25" thick at the guard with a distal taper. The guard appears to be nickel silver and it has a wood handle that is checkered on the sides. A single brass pin sits in the middle of the handle and is likewise checkered.

The clip is sharpened with a secondary bevel. It does not appear to have been used. There is a spot of pitting near the tip of the blade on the left side (see pictures) that was there when I got the knife. There is some light speckling on the opposite side of the blade (right side). The ferrule behind the guard has a scratch on the right side parallel to the guard. There is also a dark pin prick-sized spot on the same side of the ferrule.

The blade is marked "KC" on each side of the ricasso. There is no sheath. The knife will ship with a padded case.

The next blade up is a Greg Covington damascus bowie. It is a madagascar ebony handle with a mosaic oval guard. The blade has about 9 1/4" of sharpened edge and is about 10 1/4" long to the guard. It is about 15 1/4" long overall. The blade is just under 1 1/2" wide. It is roughly .25' thick at the guard with a distal taper. The clip is sharp but does not have a secondary bevel. The blade is stamped on the right side "COVINGTON." This is a light and fast piece.

There is some light speckling towards the tip on the left side and some midway down the right side of the blade. There is no pitting. The knife does not appear to have been used. Included is a sheath also from Covington.

SOLD Lastly, for sale is a Lamey bowie. It is rather unique with a "working" finish on the blade made up of a belt satin finish and bead blasted areas. The satin/ bead blasted areas depict the hamon for a really cool effect. It has a stainless guard installed at an angle, common to Lamey bowies. It has roughly 9" of sharpened edge and is 9 3/4" to the guard. It is about 14 3/4" overall. The blade is about 5/16" thick at the guard with a distal taper. The blade is about 1 3/4" wide. The handle is black G10 that's been blasted on each side to texture. It is pinned with two stainless tubes and has a third for a lanyard. It is marked on the left side of the riscasso with "Lamey" in cursive lettering.

Forge marks remain near the spine on the left side of the blade. There is a couple of very light spots in the blasted areas. There is one definite spot on the right side of the blade in the satin area. It is not pitted but wouldn't come off with fingernail scrubbing or Renaissance wax. It includes a black leather sheath.

$545 SOLD shipped insured for full value.
