PM2 Bowie

[emtyhopper]

What do you guys think about the PM2 Bowie that Spyderco is supposedly going to be putting out? It's going to be a pass from me, just wondering what everyone else thinks about it.

 

[pholder]

Not for me thank you. Nice to see thinking outside the box. Just don’t see any advantage of that blade shape or any purpose that the standard PM2 doesn’t already offer

 

[trevitrace]

The fuller is cute.

 

[Fonedork]

Begging for a wave

 

[McBokerson]

That tall pm2 blade profile just isn't working too well with that clip point for me. I feel like this style blade just needs a nice flat spine to look ok.

 

[Riz!]

That is hideous.

 

[jeepin]

That’s a little odd.

I dig it and see it as just another example of Sal and Eric having a genuine enthusiasm for bringing Spyderco fans what they think we want. I'm not sure if it's for me, but I appreciate the effort, and I think it's interesting

 

[DocJekl]

It's not the worst I've seen, but I don't plan to get one.

 

[mobilerd]

I own a bunch of crazy looking Spidies, but I’d say nope to that. A complete new designed folding Bowie maybe.

 

[kreole]

It's cool they're doing more blade types.

What happened to the reverse S PM2?

 

[Barman1]

I don't necessarily dislike the fuller, it just the has wrong dimensions.
Just looks too short and fat, kind of capsule-like.
Maybe it's designed to be large enough to use for another opening method but the Spydiehole is already like right there...

No. Bowie blades are supposed to be beautiful.

I think the problem is that bowie blades are huge.To squeeze a bowie style blade into a knife with a 3.5" blade with slightly over 3" cutting edge doesnt really work too well,and adding the spyder hole the fuller , upswept blade tip, false edge, its just too much going on at once in too little of a space...

 

[8-Fingers]

The fuller has to go! A 3.5” blade doesn’t need a blood groove. Plus it would probably cheaper eliminating the milling cost for the fuller.. IMHO

 

[goldie]

A sabre ground blade only might be cool,like the old manix but this is too much...

 

[on_the_edge]

That is BAD A$$!!!! I'm going to attach a little rattlesnake rattle noise maker to a lanyard to make it the ultimate pocket laser. Ohhhhh yeah!!!

OK, just kidding!!! Hahaha, that is a HARD PASS!!!

 

[Hashishiin]

I am waiting for the reverse S PM2.
I know it exists - release pleeeease!!
