If I remember correctly there was another beautiful prototype from MarcinS a while back. What are the chances that this one will make it to production. Love the pictures.
I'd prefer a Techno blade shape, but it looks perfect otherwise:thumbup: Time to contact my dealer and get a preorder in
Well this model wasn't originally on my wish list, but your excellent photos are making me reconsider.
Do we have an estimated MSRP or better yet street price? I hope it's not over $200, I want it. I tried to like the techno but just couldn't, this looks perfect. It appears to have a back spacer, can we expect something loud like on the techno?
Yes, the handles are indeed slightly contoured. I handled the knife on the last Amsterdam Meet, and it's is on my shortlist as well. (next to the new Phil Wilson fixed blade)
I assume you mean the "Spyderchef": http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1032684-A-prototype-from-MarcinS? As much as I like that one, I' m more excited about the Bowie. It' s just a more versatile, EDC-capable design.
That's the one, thanks. I was really excited to see that one hit the shelves but it never happened (or hasn't happened yet??). The Bowie looks like a practical carry I'd definitely own.
This knife has the same affect on me as watching Kate Upton in zero gravity. I cannot wait for this knife!!!
That's to bad . Wish it was more affordable (closer to the Techno). At >$200 I won't be getting one. I have a hard time spending over 200 on any regular [non "grail"] production knife. Not that it's not worth it, that's yet to be determined, it's just a personal limit.
My guess would be about $250 street. The only thing to keep in mind is that this is the affordable grail knife. The next step up from Spyderco's Taichung offerings are the actual custom knives. I personally feel that the Taichung offerings are on par with the mid-tech versions of custom knives/makers and those are typically in the $400-600 range; while Spyderco is able to achieve this under $300. I'm lucky enough to have Bladehq about 20 min from me, so I can get any production knife in hand before putting down the cash.
