From the Sharpening Bench -- Spyderco Slysz Bowie: Very Nice... Very Pricey

Here's a quick first look at the excellent Spyderco Slysz Bowie, new for 2015. Designed by Marcin Slysz, this is his second collaboration with Spyderco, following the very popular Techno. The Slysz Bowie is a faithful and skilled effort at a folding bowie knife, which presents a problem, given the Spydie hole. But Marcin and Spyderco's maker in Taichung seem to have executed it pretty well indeed! The only thing you really sacrifice with the design is true ambidextrous operation. That and its steep price are really the only negatives about an otherwise superb blade.
