any body know any bowies with an overall length of 18 inches or longer? i have seen a few but didnt like em because of price or quality

Some of the nicest Bowies I've seen are Lamey Custom Knives. I know he makes some 12" versions, as a custom maker you could probably ask him to make a bigger one.

Try Randall. I think (?) one of his bowies is 12" or longer, but not sure.

Quality abounds on big bowie in the custom subforum. Price may be your hangup. A bowie that size from a custom maker is going to cost.

What price range were you looking at.

Big custom bowies, CAS out of South America, Lamey has been mentioned, Sam Lurking (SP)

Really too many for me to name........
