Brand new member from Texas - Bowie knife nut.
Greetings. I was recently invited to come over here in hopes that I might continue to learn about my favorite knife subject - Bowies.
I have been logging on at the Blades forum site (Big Ugly Tall Texan wouldn't fit here for some reason) for about a month now, trying to get information to help me with my choice on a new Bowie knife. As a Texan, I have always been fascinated by Bowie knives and the Bowie legend. I have learned more about the subject in the past month than I learned in the previous 624 months of my life. I used to think the only kind of Bowie knife was the James Black Bowie and the type of knife I recently ordered a Bear MGC Bowie. BOY was I wrong. I had never heard of the Musso Bowie before a few weeks ago. Now, I have gone from thinking that might have been Jim Bowie's knife to wondering if it is even the genuine article. My jury is still out on that one. One of you guys over there read my musings and suggested I might log on here and learn a little more. Well, here I am.

I've been Bowieless for several years since I gave my only one as a Christmas present. I just got back from mailing a money order to pay for a brand new Bear MGC just like the one pictured. $77 plus $7.95 S&H seems more than reasonable to me.
And as for big, I'm 6-3 and weigh 257 as of this morning. And ugly? Can you beat this? And, yes, I was shirtless when I tookthat photo. Whatever elseless I might have been is my business. Last edited by Big Ugly Gringo; 02-28-2006 at 02:44 PM. |

I must admit, if I had a dog that looked like that ....
Nevermind. Point is, welcome aboard, amigo! For those Yankees that may wonder how I dare risk upsetting a big feller like that, just understand that from my perspective, he's halfway to Los Angeles! __________________ God bless Texas! Now let's secede!! |
