: What do you guys know about the Indiana Jones Khyber Bowie Knife? The U.S Calveraly(s.p.?), a military gear catalouge offers it and the Stetson,s "The Ark". The catalouge is old (1994?)but they might still offer it. You might call them or check out their website. Its the knife from the scene in TD with the bridge. That big sword/knife used to cut the bridge. It has Indys signature on the blade and the Indy logo on the leather sheath. Does any one have one? Do you know where else they offer them?

: Indiana Jones Khyber Bowie Knife
: The Khyber Bowie is the kind of knife you would have expected "Indy" to carry with him. There's absolutely nothing plain about it. the exotic features include Cobra relief sculptures on each side of the the brass hand gaurd, a solid brass eagle head pommel, hard wood handle and a solid brass spine with brass pins. The Khyber Bowie-style 420 stainless steel blade is brush-finished with full-tang construction for Samson-like strength. To complete this treasure, "Indy's" ghostly signature is etched into the blade. The knife comes with a brown leather sheath with snap-secured strap and 4" (10 cm) belt loop. Overall @4" (61 cm), blade width 2 1/4" (6 cm)

You're right, that is an old catalog, and no, they don't have either item anymore. They did offer the Stetson in the catalog, but actually substituted the Broner fur felt fedora. I know, I own two, and they are excellent hats and were well worth the money back then, $89 as I recall. There is a second generation of the Khyber Bowie, and you see both generations of this knife appear almost daily on eBay for bid at around $85 and up. They are pretty hefty and appeared to be well made, or at least the first generation version I handled many years ago. I didn't buy it then, as the freight was $129 and just a bit more than I had on me at the time. Regards. Michaelson
