I think I'm going to have to go with the Street Bowie too.

If Spyderco ever decides to do an uncoated version of the Street Beat Lightweight, I'll probably get one.

Me too. Without a doubt I would buy an uncoated LW Street Beat. I don't like coated blades but I love the Street Beat. Same goes for the Bowie.

I like the looks of the new one, but don't need it. I have the original Beat and current Bowie so it wouldn't get any carry time with me.

But having an inexpensive Street Beat in Spydercos lineup is a win in my book. It's a great knife and will get the design in more consumers pockets/belts.


Now a satin Bowie sized blade on the full tang micarta handle of the Beat would be amazing! I world surely buy one of those. Hmm, maybe two? I do have two hands last time I checked.

I really like the Street Beat Lightweight at $80 shipped.

What about Street Beat's handle length? Isn't it too short?

At 3.7" it probably would be were it not for the deep finger choil.

Depends on the hand. Fits my hand perfectly.

Two in the X.

That would be a "good" price, considering the SBL MAP is just under $100...

I just picked one up and promptly traded it off. The blade is just a wee bit smaller than I like and doesn't really look like a full 3.5" for some reason. Its really nice and for the price its a good deal, it just didn't do it for me for some reason.

A satin, micarta handled Street Bowie would rock! I'd get a couple, as well!

I'm curious why both of you wouldn't opt for the Bradley Bowie? Ergos? Steel?
