Large Bowies

[Norman]

I know spyderco tends to focus on folders and most of the people here wouldn't consider carrying a heavy short-sword of a knife....

But what are your thoughts on large bowies? The bowie is my favorite knife. Lots of heft, though not point heavy. You can feel the cutting and penetration power coursing through your arm when you hold it, like it becomes a part of you.

Carried in the waist band it frees pocket space which is often a minor annoyance with folders. Carrying exposed in the waist band with a light cloth over-jacket to conceal allows an extremely fast draw that rivals folder speed with practice.

Is there any else who loves bowies?

I do.
Its been talked about, but am not sure Sal is up for it.

Have an odd relationship with Bowies. I love the idea of a Bowie, but rarely find all the characteristics I'd want in one in a single package. Visulaize, if you can, the Gil Hibben Expendables Bowie in Odin's Eye Damasteel with a coffin handle and ivory scales.

yep, i like them :)

There is the relatively small perrin street bowie. The temperance2 fills the gap for a somewhat larger knife, and it cuts extremely well. I'd support a much much larger knife, but if you think about scale and cost it'd be far too expensive for a larger hard-use knife.

I would love one, maybe slightly modernized, because that is what Spyderco does. I vote Gayle Bradley come up with something......He is a Texan and Bowies are kinda notorious
with Texas. Im all for Damascus, and maybe a Carbon fiber handle.

love to see spyderco come out with some more fixed blade knives. bowies, choppers, woods knives, and do some with convex grinds.

The Hossum series were all Convex grinds and very nice outdoors knives.
