[nightwolf1974]

looking for a quality Bowie knife. any thoughts of where to look?

 

[crockett]

Do you want a production knife or custom made?

 

[nightwolf1974]

i'd buy a good production knife if i can. but would be open to a custom one too i guess.

I would suggest going to a major Rendezvous and checking the trade blankets.

Check out Dixie Gun works.

If you’re looking for a production knife, Atlanta Cutlery has a pretty significant line of Bowies. They don’t have the greatest reputation for quality so I’m told, but I’ve always had excellent service dealing with them in the past. I have also never looked for something completely authentic from them either, nor I have I handled any of the Bowies they carry

I purchased a "Bark River Knife Rogue Bowie", Antique Stag handle. The blade is made of A-2 Tool Steel. It is a knife you will be proud of. You can also pick up a matching smaller knife and/or a patch knife to match. The price will hurt a little bit, but only for a short while.

Hey Boss Hoss, Wow! Great stuff! Please tell me, what is the little crooked knife with the saw teeth, the smaller one on the pointed antler tine?
Is it something used for horse hooves?

Make your own, it's not expensive. You can pick up a good blade for less than 40 bucks and trade for a piece of deer or elk antler.

The bowie is a soligen blade with an elk antler piece that I traded for. I really like the flatness of the antler, and my hand fits it perfectly. Funny because this is not the piece I wanted to use, but it felt good in my hand. I still need to pin the blade.

Both blades were given to me by an old buckskinner many years ago.

The patch knife is also a soligen blade with a deer handle from my first bow killed deer.

Two knives with stories.
