Your opinion of gerber's australian bowie

[Faust]

I picked this thing up for 50$ and althouh it feels and looks great, i would hate to be disapointed if I actualy use it. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to abuse it but would like to know that I can if I have to. So if you have used one of these knives I would like your 2 cents.

I'm not familiar with that knife but a quick search over at bladeforums revealed this:

Looks like you got a damn good price.

Yep, that's the one. It's a sexy beast for sure and this particular knife was sold by Mac Tools.

I have this one its the same knife but its limited edition (1 of 1500) and I have used it pretty hard, spliting wood, cutting lots of meat, carving and have never put a new edge on it and it still cuts paper like a razor so it is a awesome knife also still looks almost new after all the use ive put to it. Id say its my favorite knife

Thanks for the honest endorsement soldier!

I'm not a fan of coffin handles. JMHO

The coffin handle IS part of the original Bowie design.
