i had zero interest in one until recently. I bought a spydiechef and love it. I didn't have much interest in the chef, but the buzz around it finally caught my attention. So now the bowie buzz kinda gets me a bit. Not at the current asking price tho.I know. My jaw practically fell open. Of course it was someone with 0-0-0 feedback who bit at that price.
I had a Slysz and sold it. Liked it but didn't understand all the hype. (Maybe I'll try it again sometime, though.) Someone just sold one for 300, but before biting, I asked him for more info, at which point he said he bought it new from a retailer 6 months ago, which doesn't make any sense. (They were discontinued significantly before that, if memory serves.) Of course, on the exchange, it sold in 2 minutes, with a traffic jam behind it. I'd only buy a Slysz now knowing the history of where the knife came from originally.
Im not sure about the bowie still being at retailers, but to be fair, bentobox still has a grey g10 sprint lum tanto for sale. How long have they been discontinued? So there may be some way over priced bowies still sitting on a shelf somewhere.
