HD,
You are a hard core bowie guy! That Collins bowie is simply gorgeous <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

The patina on the combat blades really makes them special IMO. A nice patina says that the blade has been used and loved, kinda like kids stuffed animals that have lost some fake fur <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
