Really??! That's cool. LC200N. :cool:

[Rinzler]

I wonder what that blade length is?

[ladybug93]

I wonder what that blade length is?

looks smaller and thinner than the street beat. i'm guessing around 3 inches. i wish it was the same size as the street beat, honestly, but i think it's gonna be great. lc200n and a kydex sheath set up for neck carry...? yes please!

Looks pretty cool

Looks great! Day 1 purchase for me!

Having used a three finger handled Perrin I can confirm they're still very ergonomic.

Love this one and it will be a definite purchase for me as well. It will be a good backpacking knife in my opinion.

I think I want one!! Who am I kidding, I'm definitely going to pick one of these up!

I would love to have a tiny rust proof fixed blade in a useful blade shape. Count me in.

Yep!! Very cool!!

Here is the original Subway Bowie...made for me by Fred Perrin while my wife and I visited him in Paris in 1999.

I rechristened it "Le Metro" in honor of the Parisian subway system.

ill end up with one

Interesting… Looks like it’d be a good companion to the waterway, I’ll nab one if it’s on the budget side.

Although now that I think about it, it would be great while running and biking… I’ll nab one regardless of price who am I kidding :D

That is really awesome!! What a cool experience and such a neat little blade to always remember it by, that was probably 15 years before I even knew the name Fred Perrin. Although I would've been 13 in 1999. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly this knife is looking like what I wanted the Ark to be.

Small, light, compact but secure three finger grip, rust proof.

It fixes all the issues I had with the Ark, like the thumb ramp making the ergonomics not work for my grip, and the handle being a little too narrow.

Hope the sheath has good retention. I could see this being a nice knife for horizontal carry on my belt.

Nice one and definitely needs lanyard for pinky. The blade reminds me Bradford Guardian.

i wonder how long it'll be before we see these. i just saw esee is shipping s35vn izulas in the next couple of weeks. i love the izula and i've also been eyeballing the xancudo lately. they aren't in lc200n though.

Very cool.

I think this will have a lot of interest in the CCW / tactical market, especially if the sheath is nice and compact as well.

It looks to be comparable in size to the Shivworks Clinch Pick, but in a conventional (as opposed to reverse) grip:



If it comes with a similar style of 'concealable' sheath...yowza.



I've long wanted a compact FB like the Clinch Pick, but with a regular edge orientation, so this would be perfect.

Nice looking knife you have there. I have a White River m4 backpacker similar in size.

The clinch pick does not make any sense to me, but to each his own.

I might try carrying mine like that. I've always gone horizontal on the front of the belt.
