The Slysz Bowie has been sort-of on my radar since it released. It looked like a nice knife but due to the proliferation of grey-titanium-frame-lock-3.5inch-folders, it never pushed its way to the top of the heap of knives I “needed” to purchase. Besides, it was rather pricey for a Spyderco. When the knife was announced for discontinuation a couple of weeks ago, I knew it was now or never for the Slysz Bowie. I watched stock dwindle rapidly at my favorite online vendors and noticed some were marking the knife UP!
I took the leap and purchased one at Blade HQ. I opened it up for the first time while sitting in my office at work today. OMG! What an incredible, sexy little perfect piece of knivana (knife-nirvana)!
Nick Shabazz has a video up raving about the beauty that is the Slysz Bowie, and I agree completely. I’ve never had a knife take to my hand so quickly. I’m a little blown away by a knife that can appear so simple and plain yet possess a depth of precision finished surfaces and ergonomic goodness. It’s a shame this knife has been discontinued by Spyderco because in my opinion it’s the best Spydie I’ve ever handled.
For those who own one, what are your thoughts on the Slysz Bowie? I can’t say strongly enough how happy I am to have grabbed one of these before they’re available only on the secondary market.
