Off Topic Bowie knife

[trevorwarren]

I got this bowie knife at a flea market and I can't find anything about it other than it saying "original bowie" and "made in Pakistan" I did find one just like this one on ebay but the seller isn't really descriptive about it, does anyone know about it

Welcome to BladeForums! It looks like a loose copy of a Western W49, information regarding which you can find here:

It also looks like typically low quality work from Pakistan, meaning there likely isn't any available information regarding the manufacturer. The good news is that you don't have to worry about destroying a collector piece. At best, you've got a beater with a 50+ RC temper. Regardless, use it as you see fit.
