Best Defense

I picked this up at a yard sale years ago. I found it strange because it did not look like any bowie knife I had ever seen. It is a rostfrei. Is it trash or treasure. The pic on blade is painted on kinda like graphic arts spray on thingy. I just wanted to share my strange find I just ran across again. Buried in drawer. I thought it was kinda neat so I bought it. I like the buffalo scene, etc. Thankshttp://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/13f28a9b34f6f1ba-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/13f28a9b34f6f1ba.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/21affadcc0762b89-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/21affadcc0762b89.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/14a7f6bce3066007-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/14a7f6bce3066007.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/589af6b0c8b15bb4-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/589af6b0c8b15bb4.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/4709be4cde3f9c72-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/4709be4cde3f9c72.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/32d72eb258cf90f3-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/32d72eb258cf90f3.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/ddc404f8940784d1-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/ddc404f8940784d1.jpg.html)http://my.photodump.com/rw65hdd/4b8090da768593e1-T.jpg (http://www.photodump.com/rw65hdd/4b8090da768593e1.jpg.html)

Wow, Sorry about the repeat pics. Still getting this forum pic thing down.

I believe "rostfrei" is German for "rust free" or stainless. Best Defense knives can be found at gun shows and swap markets for the $10 to $25 range from what I've seen. I have one that I picked up for $15, threw it in my glove box in case i needed it (cut, pry, throw at trees....).

You are correct

That is what I figured. I got it for $5. I thought it was cool because of the graphic art work on blade. I thought it was strange that it said (The Original Bowie) and yet did not look like any bowie I ever saw. Back in the drawer. I picked up a nice estwing hunting knife at same sale, that one has been used by me on several deer, etc. I am not a collector of anything but try to pick up interesting items that are outdoor related. Thanks for replies.
