So I've been desperately wanting a Spydiechef but can't afford it right now (turns out that becoming a dad is really expensive). To deal with the Spydiechef itch I've been carrying my Bowie more and more.
I know some folks love the Spyderco wire clip but I'm not a huge fan. I like the functionality of it but mine keeps getting bent out of shape and it moves around too much for me.
Instead, I've found that a clipless bowie is a perfect fit in my north woods pocket slip. It's a great way to carry! Just thought I'd share.

Have you seen the RGT replacement clip for the wire clip? It fits the Bowie.

I'm waiting on one right now. Considering bringing the big belly down a little.

Such an upsweep towards the tip is the only thing I can see or have learned about the knife that I don't like.
I've altered tips on "cheaper" knives no problem but I don't think I want to risk it with this.
I really need to pony up and get one already.
I just picked up a used Slysz Bowie the other day ...
Love it. It just somehow feels smaller than it is.
Agree with you ^^
I think my perception is based on multiple years of carry with PM2, replaced with SB (Slysz Bowie) testing daily carry/use for last few months. With the blade lengths being ~equal, the shorter handle of the SB misleads my mind. Handle length is actually boarder-line-short for my hand (close to ideal though).
A larger SB (handle & blade) would be a winner in my hand/pocket). For years I have wished/asked for a longer blade inside PM2 handle (I must be part of the minority who prefers longer blades). A 3.7" + bladed SB would be a winner in my mind ;-)
I seriously appreciate the thin grind (TBE) of both my SB & K2 !!

The Manix 2 XL is under 4 inches... I don't think an XL Spydie is automatically 4 inches +...
3.8"... right in your sweet spot.
I don't think anything is "automatically" anything. My "sweet spot" is 4.6", in a Millie sized handle or ~3.8" in a PM2 sized handle.
As stated above, I'd like an XL SB.
If mfr. produces an "XL SB" at 3.8", I would be disappointed (to me that's a medium or a ML folder, like the Manix XL you referenced).
While I would enjoy an XL SB, I think it would be much better rcv'd in a 3.7" - 4" Large version.
Show me more Slysz Bowie and Techno pics!!! I finally caved and ordered a Bowie and Techno, they will be here Monday. I don't know if I've ever been this excited in my entire life!! These two will probably be my end all edc pair, I feel bad for all my other spydies. I can't wait to have the complete Slysz collection, my Spydiechef can't wait to be with its brothers!
