Very nice!
Bowens were great knives and that's in great condition.
They're the legendary belt buckle knife company.

I have one Bowen knife; a folder that I picked up many years ago. Just liked the look of it and the quality construction.

Looks like they made nice knives, just really hard to find any information on. I like your folder, looks brand new from the pic. I think I'd have to carry that one.

They made some very nice knives back in the day though I wasn't aware they made any fixed blade knives like the one you found. I don't carry my folder all that often; it's my "fancy dress" knife that I have with me on special occasions, (sort of like a knife version of the BBQ gun).

I thought I was the only one that had BBQ knives.

A quick visit to their website has the Bowen Knife Company still making their Belt Knife which features a concealed buckle-knife sheathed within the belt. All other knife patterns have long been out of production.
