I'm looking for a high quality Bowie knife. I realize the better the quality, the more the cost. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have always liked this style. to me... the blade shape and the brass just makes it "right".

Beautiful Bowie! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I guess we need to know how big a blade do you want? How much do you want to spend? what purpose will this knife serve? That may help narrow down suggestions...

^^^Agreed.

Is this going to be a user or an heirloom?

[DevJames]

style is important too.

some bowies feature more belly and taper down closer to the hilt.

This thread is just gonna remind me that I need a Becker BK9...

It's more of a modern take on the blade design. Has more a more subtle clip point design.

[Bonehead]

in my opinion anything that isn't similar to the one posted above isn't a bowie. it has to be large and heavy to the point its more of a short sword. the blade needs to be shaped the way the one above is shaped or its not a bowie.

2 good bowies are the western W 49 or CS trail master either in Carbon V or san mai you cant go wrong with them in my humble opinion the becker bk9 is also very good along with kabar kurki though not a bowie a very useful tool indeed
