My first Bower

[Cartophilis]

Since I started buying knives in the 70s, I don't remember running across any of these. This thing is kinda awesome and has the factory edge.

Thats some good looking bone. I never owned or handled a Bower.

Great looking Stockman!

I have a Folding Hunter and a Barlow at home, they are well made.

I also have a barlow, never have seen a stockman.

This knife was listed as a Boker, and all the pictures were of the side opposite the shield. After I emailed them and got pics of the rest of the knife I was able to get it bought for less than 50.00 shipped...


Go ahead.... Let the hate flow...

Great knife and a great price.

Bower sold some nice knives.

They sold large and standard Barlows with a stamped bolster and I think they had a folding hunter similar to Remington Bullet knives.

Don’t know if they made their own knives, but I suspect they were contacted to somebody.

Congratulations.

It is my understanding that Bower was an import company that did not make knives but rather distributed them.My only Bower is a large hunting knife.

Here's the 2 Bowers I have, a 75 Folding Hunter and a 65 Barlow.

I can't imagine any hate flowing over that knife.

The reverse blade etch reminds me of Bokers and a couple Bulldogs I have. (Now the hate will flow.) And they were all manufactured - or stamped anyway - Solingen. I like mine, and see no reason not to like yours.
