The bowie is definetly not the goat in my eyes.

Same here. I handled the original, and did not particularly like the wide blade with upswept belly. The whole design left me a bit underwhelmed to be honest, even though the execution and materials were nice. Different strokes for different folks.

On some of my other PM2’s I’ve seen occasional light stop pin corrosion over the years. I’ve seen similar reports from other people too. ...

Those are impressive Bess numbers from a factory edge!
