Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm wanting to add a really cool looking bowie to my gear. Big is fine, up to 8' blade probably. Really don't want any foreign blades but if they look good maybe. Really like stag/bone handled. Anybody have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Don't wear it on the back of your gun belt. One of the funniest thing I've seen at a match was with the shooter started seated (metal folding chair), at the beep stand and shoot pistols, move and shoot rifle, move and shoot shotgun..........all with the chair hung on his knife.

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 First thought was....Redwing, he is very SASS supportive and does some nice work. Unfortunately, he will not be at Winter Range. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Haller Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Howdy! Look at Bear and Sons; they are USA made, and make an 7 1/2 incher with stag starting around $85. Fine for CAS. http://www.discountcutlery.net/Bear-Son-Bowie-Knives_c_3431.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faygo Kid, SASS # 26408 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You just missed the Wolverine Knife collectors show in Novi. It's always with the gun show. They always got lots to choose from. If you don't fine one, they'll have another show in the fall....Take Care...Faygo....PS ....congrats to you and KJ ........

El Mulo Vaquero, SASS #55942 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Peter Bromley. None finer. He's usually at EOT. Ask Palewolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You might consider Jantz Knife supply. They have blades made in USA and lots of options for handles and hardware, You can match your grips or your other accessories. This one was done in Bocote to match my Berettas. http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd29/remcclellen/DSC00215.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Check out Silver Stag. I carry a Pacific Bowie.Great handles and that is what you are looking for. I picked mine up at the NRA convention in St Louis for a substantially reduced price. They will be at the Indy convention if you are going there. Made in the USA. http://silverstagknives.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anvil Al #59168 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I like them made from a Farrier's Rasp. Think they look good. And boy will they hold a edge. I have a few made from them. My little one that goes in my cuffs has buffalo horn. Have been thinking about sending one off to get it done with turquoise, white turquoise, and red corral.

Grizzly Adams 3674 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I always liked this one. Very much like the one on display at the Alamo. Dixie also sells the blade for those that want to roll their own.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Creek Coy Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Well its your lucky day! After about 30 miniutes of thought I went right to it,and as an added bonus Noper will be glad to know that my once captive amishman even made a sheath that rides kinda crossdraw on the back of your belt.Its in the 8"ish range with antler handle off a deer he told me he had killed.

Blue Wolf , SASS# 29424L Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You might check with Graver Bill. He engraves alot of knives and usually has some on hand.

Chili Ron Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Howdy, There is a maker that makes filet knives with great stag grips. I know you said bowie style but if you fish the filet blade is something you can use outside of SASS. I don't have one myself but several friends have them and like them. If a filet blade interests you let me know and I will find the contact info. Smokey mountain has a bunch of bowies if that is your thing.

royal barnes sass #5792 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Smaller is better. Most of the original Sheffield Bowies had 6" blades. That size looks good and wears well on a gunbelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Clayton Conagher #43872 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I HIGHLY recommend Ross Tyser. http://www.rtcustomknives.com/ Click on his Knives link then his Bowie (top center) There is also one in the Available Knives link He's not cheap, but he's one of the best in the country as you will see by his accolades.

Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Wow! I feel, like guns, you can't have to many knives. I have two Redwings and a Peter Bromley, and assorted others new and old, but PWB that is a fine collection! Really fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Thanks Mad Dog. First couple are Bear Bone's, another fine custom knifemaker. These are just the highlights of a lifetime of collecting quality cutlery. Met Pete up at the Great Northern (Farragut, ID) many years ago...been a loyal & steady customer ever since.

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Check ebay for a Sheffield bowie for something period correct and very cool looking. More of them were around in the late 1800s in the U.S. than any other knife and they still make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
