Bowie Knife - Every Day Carry.

[matefrio]

Decided it's time to get a Bowie Knife for daily carry with my CHL. Don't want to spend more than $60.00. Must be over 5.5 inches and have a sheath that I can comfortably carry around daily if I so choose.

Any suggestions?


Boker Magnum Safari looks kinda cool but I don't like the second sharpening stone pocket on the sheith.

Puma are good knives. That one has has a nylon sheath though, don't know if that is your thing.

Leather would be better. The one with that kind of sheath is $20 more.

This one is $90 but marked down from $200: http://www.amazon.com/Puma%C2%AE-Bowie-Knife-Leather-Sheath/dp/B000CDKVYA

Nice! Looks like the Puma I have.

Maybe something bigger though? That huge S&W would get attention.

I think 6in to a max of 8in blade is the best size. I'm really going for convenience and something I'll want to carry around most of the time with relative comfort.

@#$ I'm already looking outside my own price limit. Need to get back looking at what I can afford before I get stupid.

I gotcha. With those Pumas, although they are nice knives, remember the blades are stainless steel and not designed for hard chopping.

LOL tell me about it. Custom knives can drain a wallet faster than guns.

Thanks.

Wish I could afford the $1,700.00 on this one. I'd love to carry something this great looking:

How the hell am I going to go back and look at $60.00 knives now?

Well, nobody actually carries a $2000 knife.

I'm sure nobody exists. If I had the $$ or the right knife I'd do it in a heart beat.

I like my $8 Mora. If I lose it or find some inventive way to destroy it, I'm not really out anything... Inexpensive knives rule.

Yeah me too. These days I don't carry a knife I can't afford to destroy.

+1....I am hard on knives and I tend to lean toward the cheap ones.
