Have found this knife for $168.95 at http://store.knifecenter.com

Anyone know of sources that may be cheaper? Seems to be an awesome Bowie from what I have read.

Thanks!

Knife Rag reviews, CS brochures or actual user reviews? Knife rags are very similar to gun rags...there are DARNED few *really* negative reviews. Huh...go figure. The CS brochures are so full of out and out Bovine Fecal Matter that they attract flies. Actual user reviews for almost EVERYTHING can be found be found at http://www.bladeforums.com, this site's sister. Its a great site (like this one!

).

That said, CS tends to make strong, functional products at a decent price. Just don't expect them to live up to their over-hype.
