Kabar Heavy Bowies

[CWL]

Anyone have any experience or opinions about them?

They're priced in the ~$40 range and seem similiar to the Becker, Ranger & Ontario types of "edged prybar" knives.

Are these too thick & heavy to be useful @ 6mm thick, or does anyone think they'd make decent tools?

I've got one of the older style Bowies,

I think it was called a Marine Survival back then. I like it - big, a little clunky for detailed cutting but one hell of a chopper and relatively easy to sharpen as are all the Ontario blades. Go for it!
