Question about Spyderco's Slysz Bowie

[tuckerone1]

Hey guys I'm really wanting to purchase this bad boy. Tell me why this knife is worth the price. Help give justification for this one. I already own a Sage1&2 as well as a Para2 and suffice it to say that these three models have absolutely dominated pocket time over my five Benchmade's.

I need help deciding on weather to pull the trigger on this Slysz Bowie as well as help w/ my addiction. I look forward to your responses.

Regards,

CH

Oh, and buy the way, I'd like to wish everyone at Bladeforums a happy and joyous Thanksgiving holiday.

Para2 is my main carry. I got the Slysz because I like the blade shape, size, and the steel. It seemed expensive considering the specs. The knife is really impressive in its finish. The feel of the radiused titanium handles is a little slick, but it has a really aggressive stonewash. It's good at hiding snailtrails because it's basically covered in them. The blade is also heavily stonewashed, but also somehow mirror finished. The clip placement over the lockbar cutout makes it a little snaggy pulling it out of a pocket, but I think this will help keep retention in pocket. The blade is really thin at the edge making it a really nice slicer. I think all these details add up time in the finishing process and you can tell that there is a lot of detail oriented steps. I'm not gonna say you should get one, but you probably should get one!
