The Sportsman's Bowies have never jumped out of the catalog at me but this thread has me jonesing for a nine incher.

Anyone else have any pics?

A 6 Inch Sportsmans Bowie with Red Stag

Nice model 12 Charlie, That stag is begging for Mr. Bowles to scrim his famous buffalo scene on it!

Speaking of begging, my wife is begging me to stop spending money on knives I should put my name on Mr Bowles list but speaking of scrim, I sent a model 11 I bought from Dale down to Hutch for him to scrim a White Tail Buck to match the model 3 with the Elk he scrimmed on the knife I bought from you and a Model 8 to put a pheasant on the same spot. He is supposed to ship the 11 this week I'll shoot you a pic

Here is another model 12-6 that came today via ebay

Cool knives guys, love that amber stag too!

Here ya go Jerry, a Model #12-9, as requested. This knife 'box dates' to 11/71...an additional dating clue is the green resin-impregnated Birdseye Maple handle - only available in 1971-72 IIRC...



Cool knife, one of my fave's

Arriving just today....

Nice Knife Gary, that Crown Stag looks awsome! Speaking of new arrivals, I got this one from the shop last week:





My .999% pure silver forward curved hilt, collar and butt cap, David Warther Ivory, Randall Artisans knife build.
