Another K2 lock stick question - humor me

I just opened and closed mine a bunch and it went away.

Perhaps it is his version of a bowie. Look at the Slysz Bowie compared to the K2 Bowie. When I see the Slysz I don't think Bowie. The point on the Slysz doesn't begin to ascend back up like on the K2.

Might be his perception of a Bowie - sure. Many different types of knives are termed Bowies.

IMO the staggeringly beautiful Slysz is more Bowie than the K2.

Persian knives have upwards aweeping points like the K2

A true "bowie" has the long straight blade with the "clip" like point a the end, traditionally that swedge was sharpened and you had a double-edged blade at the end. With the K-2 almost 3/5th of the knife is the bowie point.

Not quite. The term 'Bowie knife' covers a vast field and many different knives are termed Bowie.

Just note the difference between these - all 'Bowie knives.'


Edwin Forrest Bowie knife - most likely very much like the knife mr Bowie himself fought the Sandbar Fight with

On the other hand it has been noted, that some early Bowie knives showed a Mediterranean influence in the lines (B. Levine)...., so there you have it.
