Does anybody else like to see this happen? I had one a along time ago and you all know what happened. They could always make it in a different steel.
 
As long as it remains a Tai-Chung knife, I'd like to see it. The one I'm really waiting for is the K2 though. That K2 in new condition is a grail knife for me.
 
I never wanted it then and I don't want it now, sorry.

If they make a titanium hundred pacer that would be better than the K2 for sure.
 
I love the Slysz Bowie. Great feel in hand, my favorite Spyderco blade shape, perfect size, just amazing quality. I think the price puts it out of the range of anybody except hard core knife knuts. I have to say I don't think I could resist buying another if they put it out in a different steel. Sign me up
 
Superb model. My only tiny little nitpick is the profile while clipped in pocket, specifically the "height" of the grip at the clip end. I prefer a butt profile that allows easier pocket egress for my hand, ie a rearward taper away from the back of the knife. The SpydieChef is better in that regard. My grail Spydie-Slysz would be a SpydieChef with the blade and handle with the Slysz Bowie treatment - polished stonewash blade with rounded spine, and contoured Titanium slabs in the same finish as well.
 
It was priced out of most peoples budget. I say re make it without 3d milling (like the spidie chef). That should lower the price a bit. Though it would still be expensive but for the quality and materials it's so worth it. I love the sound it makes.

My only gripe is I want to spidie flick it and it's near impossible to do so. So I guess I have two gripes.

I know another thread lots of folks were griping about the blade shape.

Well probably see more slysz models in the future.
 
I didn't really like the blade shape. I would like to see a warncliff.

I don't want the original Slysz Bowie brought back.
But .. a Slysz Bowie 2 with a bigger blade and slightly different shape with less belly and more point would be sweet.

^^^My feelings exactly.
I tried, really tried, to like the SB. The craftsmanship and quality was superb, but it never clicked with me. I think it had to do with the aesthetics of the blade to handle ratio (width and length) and it never felt quite right for me in hand. Dang though, it was really well executed.

I can’t wait for more Slysz colabs...though I still need to pick up a chef!
 
Not interested in it, and my guess is that not a lot of folks were and that is why Spyderco discontinued it. C'est la vie.
 
It's too close to small sebenza territory, as far as price and similarities go, and the small sebenza is far superior in every way, including manufacturer warranty.

On the other hand, I've never seen a specific model go so fast in the Exchange as SB's do.

Because no one wanted to pay full price for it :rolleyes:

What the f*uck ever. Sabenza is boring and plain sux. It isn't about price they just suck or we'd all have one.
 
I've had two; sold 'em. Would like to see another, but this time in 3/32" spine thickness. None of these 1/8" blades seem to be worth a darn in the kitchen.

I've heard nothing but good in the kitchen with the Hundred Pacer. It's as thick as the Military. At .14"

Considering you can't even spell Sebenza correctly, I have a hard time believing you've ever owned a Sebenza, let alone held one. It's slimmer in hand and in pocket, multiple blade profiles for various tasks instead of the horribly broad blade with a gigantic obese belly on the tip on the slysz bowie, and about a hundred more things that I don't care to explain to someone that wants to be simple minded. There is a reason the sebenza has been around for decades while the slysz bowie got discontinued after 2 years or so. It's a classic with the best warranty and fit and finish in the production business, which is also why it costs so much. It's not everyone's cup of tea, and I can respect that, but I cannot respect your utter downplay of a pivotal design.

Blah, blah, we've all heard the chanting from disciples of Reeve before. This is the Spyderco Forum.
