If you don't mind doing a little finishing, the Windlass Bowies are quite nice for the price. The steel is pretty good. They are made in India, though. Awhile back I picked up a Quama from Atlanta Cutlery. So, how do you like it? The Qama is much like the Gladius.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Awhile back I picked up a Quama from Atlanta Cutlery. So, how do you like it? The Qama is much like the Gladius. The handle took a little getting used to because the rivits stick up quite high. But I actually liked it. It's not designed for prying and probably no where as tough as a DF it's Ok for the price.

The steel is pretty soft so the belt grinder will get quite a work out if you use it alot

After the postman hit our stone mailbox I would've tested it on him.

As I've always made very clear, I don't like cheap beer. But that doesn't mean that I won't drink on if its given to me. So I decided to kill this Miller Light "Horn Dog" style. I'm Vic's protoge.

I've heard Lite beer causes anger issues in some people.
