CTC, I told you you'd love the Recon, and I told you you'd love the Scuba/Demo, and I was right, wasn't I?

Tryin' to hold a train of thought, but it departed.

Nothing new under the sun for me.

Me too...Been away for a while.
But it's always good when the opportunity arises, to hop in.

I don't buy much knifes these days, there's one in the holding and that's a Gerber Guardian backup. From now on I'll save a bit longer and try to get an original Recon Bowie.

The Recon particulary has gotten' to me. Like I said before, I'd go sofar to travel to Nam to try to find one on a local Market.

Man! The Magic of the Recon Bowie! Maybe I can get Discovery Channel to sponsor me!

I don't have the Recon, but I have a 5th Special Forces SOG Bowie. It is simply the most beautifully finished production blade I own.

Yep, GREAT knife - curved blade shape would probably help in withdrawing the blade after deep penetration since it has no grooves. $300? no way...All over eBay for around $180. but it IS a great knife - and not some froo-froo stuff - this thing is a weapon. If you love yours that much, find yourself a 20th Anniversary Edition, just about the same price!

Another great knife....check to see if you got one of the "new" ones or one of the original S1s (5th SF Bowie). i have one of 15 in tigerstripes with Spencers sig on the pommel...loooove it! they even sent me a COA. God bless SOG and Spence!

Here's a link to a PDF document on SOG's web site. It's an old magazine article with great info about the original knives. Btw, the Recon Bowie is my favorite knife too... I have 2 of them!
