Ha! I already commented on that knife months ago. This post this morning was damn near word for word! At least I'm consistent
Reading through the thread and seeing @Poconner mention the Camillius-Fisk OVB Bowie lead me to one that was NOS. Thanks Guys! The last thing I pictured for today was buying a Bowie knife
Now I'll have to hunt down a copy of Alan Ladd in, "The Iron Mistress"

I saw that one, on the evil bay, as it popped into my Saved Searches. My Covington-made Belle looks much like it, but, of course, differs in details. Each if different, which is a good thing.
Enjoy!
Edited to add: I believe it is possible to upload images directly, but I have to re-learn each time I try to do it, and have given up, the last couple of times I have tried.

Hi, Chris, Rex!
Posting pics is very easy: you don’t need a file sharing service, you can post them directly.
Once you click on “reply to thread” to start your response post, you will see a selection of icons above the text box where you type. On the second, or middle, row of icons, there is a group of five with a tiny world with several chain links superimposed on it on the left side, and what might resemble a piece of movie film on the right. Next to the film icon is another icon with four tiny black squares in the corners and a very blurry tree in the middle. That is the pictures icon.
Select the pictures icon, and you will get a pop-up that says “insert image” with two tabs labeled “computer” and “URL”. Select the tab you need - I always use the computer - then select the “Choose file” button. Selecting that allows you to browse your computer and select your picture. You may need to choose a smaller file size, depending on how large the original picture file is. If you do that, the system will compress your image a bit and load faster. Once you have selected the picture, there is a button that says “upload file(s)”. Select that, then wait a bit while it loads. Once the pop-up goes away, there will be text in your message box. Don’t mess with it - that’s the code for your picture file - but you can type your message before or after the code, and even upload more pictures to the same message.
When you are done writing the message, just post as normal. Easy!
I just got lucky and bought a Covington Hell’s Belle. I won’t call it my grail but I’m getting closer. I checks off most of the boxes except two. It doesn’t have a distal taper to the blade so it doesn’t have that live a d part off you feel. Still it’s a great knife and looks awesome. But If I want a Bowie chopper this is my new go to.

My search has led me to an Ontario Bagwell Hell’s Belle. This knife feels great in your hand. Light and fast. My Covington hell’s Belle balance point is very blade heavy. It feels like it just wants to chop.
My newest Bowie is a Damascus Hell’s Belle by Ricardo Vilar. This one is beautiful, light, fast and balanced. It does not feel like a big knife. I thinks it time to learn how to use a hell’s Belle for fighting. It is very easy to carry it IWB. Any suggestions?
The clip is sharpened and the knife is scary sharp. It is surprisingly light in your hand.
