[Mister Coffee]

@Nice marmot: Good post, Nice.


I received an e-mail today from KnifeJoy asking me if I would be interested in buying another Slysz Bowie . . . .

[riclaw]

Thank you, KnifeJoy. I didn't plan to buy one but you changed my mind.

Same here, I received the notice last night asking if I was interested via the KJ+ program, said yes and received an offer today to pick one up so I did; noticed they even had 3rd party payment options available (pre-drop post had mentioned they didn’t initially).

Knife Joy took a cool course when they asked Knife Joy + folks if they would like to purchase a Slysz Bowie. Connecting to a likely loyal customer group with the offer was a grateful gesture. It gave some of us that missed the original drop the opportunity to pick up the knife

I got the email and appreciated it . As a lefty can’t justify spending money on a righty frame lock . Great knife . MG2

Very well-done, Mike. I don't know much about knives, but I know something about writing. Much appreciated.

What's the deal with the blue sticker with the animal head on it?

[riclaw]

I've had mine in pocket all today. This really is a nice knife. Great materials and a finish that I like. It's not flashy, but it cuts.

Good question. I have no idea.

Okay if I take a seat on the sofa next to you while we wait for a reply?

Welcome to the sofa! We'll have to see what the experts say. There was also a small matching velcro patch, a larger velcro patch with KJ Exlcusive on it and matching sticker.

The sticker refers to the Slysz Bowie being (in many people’s opinion) the Spyderco GOAT (greatest of all time).

Aha. Thanks!

Amazing. Thank you.

There's speculation over on the Millie, PM2, Para3 group on FB that the pivot screw is made to accept Torx Plus bits rather than the standard Torx. I checked mine using a T8 Wiha bit and the fit is a bit loose. T9 is too large.

Just wanted to mention it here before somebody stripped their pivot screw using the (possibly) wrong type of bit.

Thank you very much for that information.

My WiHa's are fixed-handle. Guess I'll be shopping for new wrenches .... Feel free to recommend.

Unpopular opinion maybe...

► Show Spoiler

Greatest of all time and frame/liner lock don't belong in the same sentence.

I just carried frame/liner lock knives for a month straight. I carried my PM2 for ONE DAY and went, oh ya, now I remember why I almost completely stopped buying frame/liner locks 8 years ago. Out of the pocket, cut, back in the pocket in an almost seamless motion. If it doesn't have a compression lock or cbbl it's not even in the running for goat.

Seriously?

That's gotta be the most "cringe" thing I've seen in a long time.
