Very nice, QS. I have a Colt with the same kind of Damascus-like blade.

Ontario Knives made a Master's Series of Bowies with Bill Bagwell. Although they are reproductions they have all appreciated in value very nicely, about 3 or 4 times their original price. One of them, the replica of the famous Hell's Bells, is selling for about 9 x the original price.
I am very pleased to have these as the cost of an original by Mr. Bagwell is beyond my reach.

Q.S. as a side note, years ago a friend of mine who collected high-end custom knives had a couple of Bagwells among other custom knives. His house was broken into and among the knives stolen were the Bagwells.Quick Steel wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 5:31 pm Ontario Knives made a Master's Series of Bowies with Bill Bagwell.

He actually found a couple of the knives later on for sale a show and recovered them. However, he never got the Bagwells back.Re: Anyone collect Bowies?

That is interesting but very sad information, Topdog. I hope your friend had some insurance. But even if he did the loss was a great one.
