rolled the dice and bought me one of the Winchester $20 bowies at Walmart last night. I've messed around with it today and im pleasantly surprised. I think its mildly terrible to put a brass and wood bowie knife wit nylon sheath, but other than that, te knife seems to be worth 20 bones. 440 stainless steel blade, laminated wood handle, brass looks good. We'll see after a few camping trips how it holds up.
