this is the biggest standard bowie we make. i think it has a 9.0" blade. we don't get many requests for a larger blade than that.

I've really only owned a couple of Bowie style knives.

Ron Newton 11" blade, sold it years ago:

Back when Obasm made ivory illegal, a fool at the big Louisville show offered up a genuine Randall 12-12" on the cheap. Yes, it had an elephant ivory handle. My resident Randall expert said it dates to maybe 1954. I bought it and love it. Its even got the brass back brazed/welded in place.

Looking at it, you can't tell if its ever been used. I can tell you that it has... Big Grin

I have an Ontario Marine Raider Bowie that I found when out hunting. It's a beast, and is my "Truck Knife". Blade is 9 3/4".



I also have a 75th Anniversary Buck 119 with a 6"blade. My Bowie itch is fully scratched.

I also have a V-44, but mine is a Collins. I was given it as gift in 1946 by a Marine Cpl.

The knife is fantastic, what is the revolver almost big enough to be a walker colt

Actually the revolver is a 1861 Navy .36, same styling as the 1860 .44 but a bit smaller overall. The Walker is quite a lot bigger than either one. This model was a favorite of Wild Bill.
