I dunno if anyone posted this picture before, but anyway, I think it is a collector piece.

UC emited this item in 1997 as a tribute to our hero. Now a days, this is a difficult to find item. I got mine today and I want to share it's certificarte of authenticity, a prop collector doc.

Bowie is a really beautiful piece and an interesting addition to any collection.

I came within a whisker of purchasing one of these when they came out back then....but just couldn't justify the cost at the time. It was a decision of putting food on the table, or this in the collection.

My wife convinced me the food was the best choice at the time.

If you want to see a HUGE example of this knife, go to the Smokey Mountain Knife Works at Gatlinburg, TN. They have one in a glass display (or they did a couple years ago) that was close to 4 feet long and about 5 inches wide!

No, it came out long before 1997. I purchased mine from The Edge catalog back in 1993, and the certificate of authenticity is dated 1989 Lucasfilm Ltd. I remember first seeing the knife at the United Cutlery store in our local mall during the summer of 89, but my parents refused to buy it for me because I was only ten years old. Of course they changed their tune a couple years later!

Great point Whipwarrior . I was talking about the 2nd edition, with the wall plaque.

I think that blade gives some Style to my Indy collection.

I love that plaque! I saw it in a knife magazine a few years after I bought mine, and wanted it so bad! So I made a knock-off wooden display plaque in shop class, except I used bathroom mirror wall mounts to hold the blade because I couldn't make wood pieces that small without breaking.

Whipwarrior - your story about the '89 trip to the mall and the refusal of the parents to buy it until 1993 is IDENTICAL to mine! I think we're both 1978 models? I was 10 in half of '89 as well.

1979 actually. "You were good, you were very, very good."

my problems with it are unfortunately,
1)it doesnt really look SA to me , for any character in the movie
2)i KNOW it shouldnt have indiana jones written on the blade or the scabbard

id love to get a nice accurate thugee cutlass or indys machete if anyone knows a place lmk
