This is a knife Spyderco should bring back. I hate when quality working tools are relegated to safe queens because of rarity. Mayve they change a couple small details and call it the Bowie 2, so collectors can keep their valuable item different. I just think quality tools should always be available to buy.
You got your wish :)
I got one of these when they came out, and it’s been EDC since release. They are pushing $1000 asking price now. I use mine, have sharpened it, it’s gets worked, hard. CTS XHP is perfect for this knife, still holding up like day one.
Great video. The Slysz Bowie is truly my favaourite knife in my collection (164 knives, out of control)
TiMDT Damn. Do you uhhh, want to give me one? 😉
Bring it back cause I want one so bad! Make sharper jimping, upgrade the steel to 20cv, make it a 3.5 inch blade and Call it the Bowie 2!
This morning April 28th knife joy 10am m390 sharper jimping
I just spent a RIDICULOUS amount of Aussie dollars on a new example of this knife on eBay. I can’t wait to unbox this grail.
Everything thing I’ve got from Taichung has been SUPER impressive so far…
Great review. The Kizer T1 has a similar profile and is much more fairly priced. The T1 is a great knife as well - beautiful simplicity and incredible action.
I just picked up the Knife Joy exclusive CC version in blue titanium for $500 on the 2nd hand market. I think its a steal at that price these days and I'm happy to have it in my collection.
Like the blade shape on the Bowie a lot. Price is what deterred me. I was expecting more criticism from you, but always nice to see a change of heart when you finally get a hold of it. That is how I felt about Spyderco at first .. nah.. then I used my friends and was like oh I see. Hope they make it again or a second version. Nice review
It is amazing how after handling some knives i can get blown away and not having high expectations. So true.
I bought mine on the secondary market late last year for north of $400 and I don't regret it. I am a Spyderco enthusiast and I wanted it for that reason. Now that I see what it is going for today, I think I got a deal. Oh, and I love the knife. It's awesome.
Great review. Whenever I see that knife, I think Nick Shabazz's love child. You can tell how he talks about it, that he loves that knife. Being discontinued, puts it basically beyond my reach. I'm not paying secondary market prices for one of those.
Ok this knife was one of the first review knifes I’ve seen year back by shabazz . I’m guessing we all have. This knife has always bugged me. It’s a great start - is what I see when I see this. It’s like a primed car or an all white Harley it’s missing color the textured handle etc..- you where spot on- but it’s missing so much more. Am I going to buy this for 400 or more bucks - no not before I spend that on approx 2 dozen other awesome knifes. CRK - umnumzaan for example how about a Hinderer or 50% down on a Koenig - so many great knife companies Brian brown all day- spyderco Slyz Bowie again you where spot in 250 bucks possibly how was this 400 retail 600 average price now robbery - great video as usual
Legendary..... yes. What an absolute gem!! (Hat tip to Nick) Great take on this overview, Complex.
Did anyone else watch Slick Slicers Rockstead video ? That milled TI version was out of this world .
Freaking crazy !!!
Love the look of this bowie . Wish it was a feasible option .
This knife was discontinued due to very slow and poor sales. That will probably guarantee it never comes back. Too bad though. I love the look of its simple lines and design.
I do like the Spydie Chef and Techno. The Bouwie sound amazing. I wonder if there is a design language that will translate into the Swayback. Considering pre ordering it.
Great explanation there are a lot of knives i see and just say meh, but it would probably change my mind if I actually handled them
Imagine if they brought it back with T8, the orange peel texturing on the scales, an inset, and with an M4 blade, which they used for the Advocate, or M390. I missed this last time around due to complacency. I wouldn't miss a second run with those upgrades.
Saw the thumb nail - instantly came in to like :D. Its the best knife. I will never ever ever sell mine.
Did you snag a Knifejoy version? I’m not super pumped about the belt satin finish but I’m excited to get one in hand either way.
the day I preordered for one it was canceled when they discontinued it. I regreted not picking this up because I didnt have enough money at the time it first came out.
Spyderco Slysz (Pronounced “Swish”) Bowie
It obviously is a $500 knife knife joy just dropped a whole batch of them a few months ago and they were sold out in milliseconds
you're coming from the point of an edc/knife user and reviewer where as a chef would definitely appreciate the qualities of a knife like the spydiechef more than the slyze bowie, granted i've hand eked neither the spydiechef nor the slyze bowie so i'm essentially talking out of my ass but i can see the fundamental differences in the two designs and what each was meant for. i'm not saying you're wrong or anything but they're different knives for different people😂
This blade shape is similar to the blade hq dapper. I would love to see a review of that knife as well. I love mine. I have the micarta version but the titanium version of the dapper looks so similar to this
I heard these are coming back today!
Knife joy this morning 10am April 28th
That one needs to make a comeback!
I had one of these.
Completely HATED it. Most over hyped knife in existence.
Jimping didn't line up with my thumb position.
Contouring at the top of the scale made it dig into my palm because the titanium was thinner.
The wire pocket clip was a cheap choice that wore on the scale.
Was a bit thick behind the edge from factory.
Mirror stonewashing was beautiful but made me scared to use it.
I ended up trading it for a Microtech HALO VI signature series and I'm glad I did.
Edit: I'd highly recommend the Spartan Harsey Folder over this Slyzs Bowie
Anthony Campos The Spartan is almost twice as much as this was. This is a video about liking this particular knife. If you’re not a fan then move on rather than hate on it and recommend knives hundreds of dollars more.
@@TheBigToe69 they also came out years apart. Now you can get a Spartan Harsey Folder new for less than you can get a Slyzs Bowie used.
So that point is moot.
Also being a voice of decent doesn't make me a hater. It helps anyone who may be considering purchasing this knife get a better more well rounded image instead of the 1000s of glowing comments of people who've heard from the grapevine about how good it is.
I don't know about you but I prefer to hear the about the pros AND the cons when I purchase something to help make a well rounded decision.
But hey any negativity on the internet must be from a no life hater with nothing better to do huh.
Cant find ericbelike on ig
Solid knife, love it. Good review,thanks for sharing !😎👍
Ctsxhp is edge is about on par with s30v
I have listened to Nick and some others over the years about what a superb knife this is. Unfortunately it had been discontinued when I started collecting knives. The thing I just can’t wrap my head around is why? Why...why...why? Did Spyderco stop production of a knife that was so popular and still is? There must be a whole lot about the knife industry that I just don’t understand. From what I’ve seen...Spyderco has many knives have become a regular production knife...for example the SpydieChef, or the Para 2 and 3, among others. I just don’t get it. Can anyone help me?
Mick Keim Except it was discontinued due to poor sales. It must not have been as popular as we all want it to be.
Bairy Halls ...well I guess that would do it. I guess I assumed it was always a popular knife.
4.27oz is 1/4th of Lbs.
I really only like the blade, and the action. Blade is amazing in many ways, crowned spine, stone mirrorwashed XHP. The handle had a too small of a grip area thanks to that protruding bit of the scale on the butt of the knife, so it was uncomfortable for me. Also the cheapass looking g10 backspacer? Pfft. Need to make a refined Slysz Bowie 2 for me.
I believe it's Marcin, not Martin.
Are you going to review sliced bread next or the wheel?
That stuffs old news! **brushes shoulders off**
This has to be the most disappointing discontinuation I know of. Would love to have one.
Man I want one
Should have bought 3 of these when I had the chance...smh
This and the K2. Opted for the sebenzas instead 🤷🏻♂️
I want one so bad its my unicorn
The only good thing about this knife is the blade in my opinion.
Watched the whole video and I am still not hard over this knife like 99.999999% of knife guys have been forever. It looks like a tackle box knife.Wire clips to me on a knife is like rocking dad sneakers with Tom Ford suit. TLDR I hate this knife. Great reviewer and channel though. Keep it up brother
My EXACT thoughts before I handled it too!
The wire clip is one of the best clips out there! Being in the Army I bend clips out all the time! Never once have I bent out a pocket clip and I use wire clipped knives all the time now
Ooooohh, he flexin
💪
The saddest part about this knife is that it’ll never get used. Beautiful knife but worthless sitting in safe.
Okay okay, I can't be the only one who finds this knife unattractive to the eye. Now with that being said im sure it's a fantastic knife but I could never see myself spending that kind of money for a knife I'm not all attracted too
Ian Sharpe It’s beauty lies in the simplicity of its lines. Very symmetrical and pleasant to the eye in my opinion. Plus, I’ve always hated the way the spidey hole looked on most of Spydercos knives like the Pm2, Pm3, Military etc.. It looks perfect on the Slysz Bowie.
