You really are a Bowie-sick puppy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Actually not so much - most of the other knives that are near the top of that list aren't really bowies. Just this one particular Bowie that I like so much.

Some other contenders, off the top of my head...

BM-E
Uncle Mojo / Mofo
M9LE
Battle Rat
Camp Tramp

I haven't handled any of those except the M9LE, but from the appearance and reports I've read on their feel in hand and performance, I am drawn to those blades a LOT - they can't OFFICIALLY take a place on that list until I've gotten my grubby little hands on them, but those are some blades I really really dig.

The Regulator I HAVE handled, and I suspect its place will remain near the top of that list for quite some time. Especially considering the cost of some of those others on the second hand market <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
