It's raining Slysz Bowies Halleluyah!

I think I'd like to see a new Persian shaped blade. Love my Ayoob but not a super fan of the back lock.

 

Out of curiosity, is the Slysz Bowie a well designed knife from an ergonomic and cutting perspective??

 

Different times man...the branding now is on people instead being on items..you ask people what job do you like most and you will get answers like youtuber/some kind of social media influencer...i do not know your age but i don't think it sounds strange in any way for young people now, as it does to me and others alike.

 

Talking only for looks since i've never handled it, i feel the same way here.
Same thing that i've felt for the Spyderchef..I really like that blade design but it leaves me with a feeling that it's missing something.
For this money i would also prefer to try some version of the Sebenza than the Bowie.

 

That might be the saddest thing, Ive ever read.
NB Not referring to you.

 

The funny thing is that looking/sounding strange to me is one saddest things one of those guys ever heard

 

I'd like to own one but wouldn't pay over $300 for one NIB. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing one when they announced they were being discontinued.

This thread is hilarious. And my only response to the "Nick Shabazz Secret Flipper OMG" conspiracy is that if I am secretly pumping and dumping, I'm awful at it, because I post videos like this:


Also, I hope desperately that Spyderco announces a Slysz Bowie 2, so that all of the flippers who bought high to sell to a greater fool are left holding the bag.

 

Spydercos have a way of cooling off on price, too. After they're discontinued a sought after model will shoot up in price, as everyone just has to have what they missed out on. Time goes by and people move on. The price goes down often dramatically. I have some models that were bringing 100-150 more a few years back than now.

 

That was a good one. I didn't know who was Kenneth Lay so i had to look him up...some guy.. According to Wikipedia 20.000(!) people lost their job after the bankruptcies he caused

 

Why wouldn’t Spyderco do a second version? Seems like a no brainer.

 

Luckily, the members of this good forum shut that stupid idea down immediately.

 

I am in for a second version. That would be sick.

But, Spyderco, please focus on the Paysan. The Slysz Bowie 2.0 can wait.

 

Plain Ti bored me. An inlay, scale, or a unique pattern gets my attention, colors too. I don't really care for frame locks in general. If I could get a Sebenza or inkosi with a more square thumbstuds, I'd get a CF or inlayed one. Otherwise, it's difficult for me to open.

 

Just from reading some of the posts, I think I know the answer to that one.
The first version was discontinued because after the brief initial interest was satisfied, it didn't t sell well. It only lasted what, a couple of years?
Also, as JJ noted, Spyderco s go through a brief hot period when they are first discontinued, then cool off.
I bet the next Slyz Spyderco brings out, if ever, won t be another Bowie.
