subway bowie!

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

I was thinking the exact same thing myself as soon as I saw it laying on that table, and of course once he started to handle it. Very interested in what the price point will be.

I'm guessing $70.

I’m sure to add on to my hoard!

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!

Thank you, @Airlsee and you are very welcome. It was a great experience and the first of several adventures with Fred.

Might be the ARK XL I was asking for. Really hope it's available in SE.

i’ve been checking out Fred’s other small knives since getting the street bowie recently - then subway bowie!
it’s like spyderco was reading my mind - haha

I have been trying to find a decent sized fixed blade for my pocket. While I'm still getting an Esee pretty soon, I'm not the biggest fan of skeleton-handle knives.

Most are a little too slim, even with handles. The Morakniv Eldris feels like a brick. I mostly just carry it with the belt attachment.

I will say, however, that the Subway Bowie looks like it's perfect for my use!

have you looked at the xancudo? the folder is a great small knife. i really want to try it as a fb. the izula is coming out in s35vn as well. i just know i'm gonna end up with both of these plus both of spyderco's new fb models. i think this will be the year of the small fb for me. haha

[Sumdumguy]

I'm loving the way the blade turned out. Does it have a handle under the FRN, or just a tang?

Coincidentally, Fred just finished a custom knife for me and It's on the way here.

I hope CBP doesn't give me any trouble. :rolleyes: :p

I hate the fact that in California I can't carry a fixed blade longer than 2" concealed. I will definitely grab one of these but it's really irritating that I won't be able to carry it as a neck knife or a concealed belt carry. Ugh stupid knife laws.

[Polecat]

Played with it at blade, I am totally in! Smaller than I envisioned but great none the less. Sold my clinch pick as it was too easy to slice my thumb on drawing it! That’s just me!

a lot of states won't let you carry any fixed blade concealed. when i lived in florida, i could carry a 3.5" assisted folder in my pocket, but not an izula. the laws are ridiculous.

did you happen to get dimensions? i'm thinking 3" blade and around 3mm thickness?

[murphjd25]

I like it, but it’s sooooo small!

[ladybug93]

Ditto question. What's blade length on the Subway?

[murphjd25]

That thing is way shorter then 3” blade length. I’m guessing 2-2 1/2”.

You're probably right. Street Beat blade is only as long as a caly 3.

Yeah this is going to definitely be a must have for me; I’m a sucker for LC200N. I really hope Spyderco does a taco sheath though and not a pancake sheath. The taco sheaths are just more compact.

I have some questions about this knife though...

What do y’all think the dimensions of this knife will be? I always have a hard time conceiving dimensions on video and pictures. It looks to me like a 2.5”+ blade, maybe 5.5” over all.

Do y’all think it will come with a clip for belt carry, a neck chain or both?

One of the great things is that it will be LC200N, so if I don’t like the sheath I can just make a leather one and not have to worry about corrosion :cool:
