Welcome to the forums
I have two Raymond Thorps and a Smithsonian so far and I don't need any of them, but for a lot of us it is not need but desire.
Take a look at the knife of the week threads with the photos of the various bowies and you may find one or more that you like and any of the dealers can order one like that for you to receive in less time than ordering from the shop.
Good luck
Peter
