Bowie-Knives Announces Website Launch

December 2nd, 2009

Dave Sabot, President of CheapHumidors.com, announced the launch of a new website in his online empire. The new website, Bowie-Knives.com, was officially launched on Monday, November 8, 2009 and is the self-proclaimed, exclusive, bowie knives only website on the internet.

The website features bowie knives from some of the top manufacturers including Cold Steel, SOG, Boker USA, CASE Cutlery, Ka-bar, Ontario Knife Co. and United Cutlery. Additionally, the site includes large and small steel blade and Grivory (the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic) blade knives as well as rubber training knives.

Bowie-Knives.com will also feature a special section with bowie hunting knife information that will include tips on purchasing, caring for and sharpening bowie knives. Visitors to the site will find new information posted weekly.

As a special offer as part of the new site launch, Mr. Sabot is offering a ten percent off coupon code that can be found on the Bowie-Knives.com Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages. In addition to the grand opening promotion, the site will offer free shipping and handling to all location within the continental United States.

An avid hunter, Mr. Sabot is most excited to get involved with people interested in such activities as camping, hiking, fishing and hunting. “It’s less about offering the products and more about networking with those interested in the great outdoors.” Dave went on to say, “I didn’t want to disperse my efforts too thin and chose to start with providing the best experience to customers searching for a specific product.” When asked about the possibility of other specific hunting accessory websites, Dave explained, “At this point it’s too early to tell, but  I wouldn’t consider it outside of the realm of possibility.”

David Sabot opened his first website, Cheaphumidors.com, back in June 1997, hosting it on a free site with nothing more than a picture of three humidors, a price and an address to send checks to. Since then, he has grown his site in to one of the most successful cigar-related destinations online.

“In May of 1997, on Mother’s Day, I was visiting my brother in New Jersey. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside on the patio. He took out some fine Cuban cigars and we started to smoke and BBQ. When I was leaving to go home he threw a few cigars at me and told me to enjoy them.”

“I really didn’t know too much about cigars or how to store them, so I turned to the Internet. What I found out was that you needed a thing called a humidor to properly store cigars. So I started shopping for them. I went to my local stores, consignment shops, etc. Their prices were un-real. They wanted $200-$300 for a box to store cigars. I almost fainted. I did some research and it turned out there were other people like me. Guys who wanted to store some cigars but didn’t want to spend a fortune doing it. Well it doesn’t take much to see there was a market here that was pretty much unfilled.”

“I found a company that would supply me with humidors and I could order only a few at a time for $45 apiece. I bought one as a sample and to store my own cigars in and decided to take a picture and throw it on a free-hosted Web site. Much to my delight I started to receive orders and inquires for the product and as they say, the rest is history.”

In addition to his bowie knives and humidors websites, Dave also recently opened a cigar lighters website, BuyLighters.com, in early 2009.
