It may be Spec Plus's take on the original Collins #18 Legitimus (the "V44 Raider Bowie") or it may have been their take on the then recently discontinued Western W49 Bowie (which was itself a take off on the original Raider Bowie).
The original Collins model was basically a cut down machete with rather thin stock for a proper bowie knife. During WW2 Western, Kinsfolk & Case made versions. Don't know much about the Case or Kinsfolk versions, but the later Western W49 had the proper blade thickness & became a bit of a classic blade, having been popular with soldiers in Vietnam & produced until Western went under.
