A picture of the knife or a link to one like it would help.

If it's one of these don't waste your money.
They are too thick for a knife blade, and too thin for a wrecking bar.
Sell for £43.60 brand new, which is about $60 bucks I think.

Sorry, but I don't see the semblance to a bowie in that. Just the MOD survival knife.

You made a wise choice.
broken,
No problem. What a "bowie" was is a point of debate for knife historians anyway. A chef's knife could qualify.
I've read good things about the MOD Survival knife but it's not ideal. Falkniven makes a much better "bushcrafter" knife as do many other companies.
