Re: subway bowie!
I wonder what that blade length is?
Re: subway bowie!
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!

Re: subway bowie!
Looks great! Day 1 purchase for me!
Having used a three finger handled Perrin I can confirm they're still very ergonomic.

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

Re: subway bowie!
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

Re: subway bowie!
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!
So it goes.
Re: subway bowie!
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.

Re: subway bowie!
Nice one and definitely needs lanyard for pinky. The blade reminds me Bradford Guardian.
Re: subway bowie!
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.

Re: subway bowie!
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.

Re: subway bowie!
Nice looking knife you have there. I have a White River m4 backpacker similar in size.

I might try carrying mine like that. I've always gone horizontal on the front of the belt.mark greenman wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 10:44 pmVery cool.
