Slym

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

Anyone bought one and used it yet? How are they?

I'm curious as well. I like the design but the blade seems quite thick - I have the same gripe with the BM 940, so thick BTE.

3.4 mm at the spine too .
3 mm is plenty (I''d me happiest at about 2mm but that's me ; haven't broken a blade yet) .

You haven't lived until you use one reground thinner (spine and that funny point and behind the edge ) . I did that to my Green one .
I have a pile of them including S90V / Carbon fiber handle but the overly robust blade keeps me from carrying them more .
I don't need to take out a knight in armor then dig my way through a cinder block wall ; just the normal City Slicker stuff .
Over all a truly great knife though .

PS: I keep telling myself that my Spyderco C171TIBLP Mike Draper Titanium with the blue spyder web is about the same and for me I think I like it better .
That is until I start seeing too many of them here in the forum and get the Spyder bite.

The Slym is a nice looking knife, but I have not bought one yet. Too many others including the Sage 6 and some older ones have been blowing up my knife budget lately.
