I have one too and I really like it. It is a great knife. I get stares too but it don’t bug me none. My state is legal for open carry of any knife. “Hahaha. That’s not a knife. That’s a knife”

Lynn is definitely an unrecognized poet LOL

CONSTITUTIONALLY CORRECT you predicted the future right now on amazon it costs $70.70 without shipping

If it doesn’t have the triad or axis lock then it does not compare too this knife

I'm glad I'm not the only one who needed all their big folders!

I believe their AUS-8 is just as good as SOG's.

B Nash Not sure about the back pocket, but I've tried it in the side cargo pockets by the knee and it fits perfectly and cannot be seen.

If you want the knife to sit horizontally at the side cargo pocket then get the large not extra large

NJ 12 Gauge I pretty much believe that a person should carry a fixed blade with a 4-4.5 inch long blade, if they are legally able to. So, I'd choose the Perrin over the Voyager. I'm not against multiple blades though, this Voyager fits well if clipped inside the side knee cargo pocket on cargo pants.

WeAllJuggleKnives thank you very much i think ill pick up the perrin and also continue to carry my recon 1 in a pocket like you said. thanks again

Regarding the question, I don't think price should be any obstacle between the two blades. Yes, the Street Bowie is more expensive, but at $86-or-so on Amazon (or even less), the price increase isn't that much ... and certainly not when one considers the higher end VG-10 steel, and that super-light fixed blade goodness. Living in Portland, Oregon, a knife-friendly city, I carry multiple blades, with a typical load-out made up of the Street Bowie in a front, horizontal carry (with handle towards my center-line), a Cold Steel Hold Out XL, Counter Point XL, or Pentagon II Elite in right corner pocket, and a SOG Flash II Tanto in my rear pocket. Also a practitioner of FMA for the past two-plus decades, I'm looking forward to getting duplicates of several knives for double daga use. But why the multiple carry? There's many reasons. Of course, there's always the risk of flying a knife upon deployment, or otherwise losing a blade. In such cases, there's too much risk (during battle) to retrieve such a loss. Better, instead, to draw a secondary or tertiary weapon. Often, in training, one's facing a training partner, which favors a practitioner's strong-hand. In reality, though, one might be attacked from the rear, or right or left sides. Having blades available for right or left hand offers a strong advantage. Still ... to pack all dem blades? Really? Yes, really. In my case, I'm disabled, use a walker, and am transit dependent. If something were to ever go down, I'm going to have to stand my ground. I'm simply incapable of running. Blades are age-friendly, and handicap-friendly. If one has the strength of a 10-year-old, then one can very well pull a trigger, or use sharp steel, and let the tool do the work. In my case, I prefer edged weapons, because there's less chance of something horrible happening were I to miss a target. Bullets don't just stop when one misses. (Make no mistake, I love guns, too.). Nor are blades my only option. I often carry an aluminum knife trainer as well, which does double-duty as an impact weapon, as well as having a Datu Kelly Worden designed travel wrench attached to my walker. With the Voyager series, I have the Vaquero, the Tanto XL, and the Clip Point, and love all three, and have rotated them as part of my load. Back to the Street Bowie, it's gorgeous, simple, just under four ounces (which is crazy light), and around half the price of its beautiful but smaller progenitor, the Street Beat. Lots of factors must be considered when talking about deployment. There are fast draw knives, carry positions, and sheathing systems, and slower draw ones. Weather carries an impact, because it dictates clothing worn. Are there gloves involved? Again, many factors. But all things being equal, a fixed blade is faster than a folder. In Portland, the laws are such, that fixed blades have to be visible. Easy-peezy. With my carry, my shirt is lifted over my Street Bowie, and certainly, if a person's looking, it's going to be that knife that will draw and probably lock in a person's tracking. Were that to happen, my folders might go unnoticed. For that matter, make no mistake, my gear is just that--gear. My blades are tools, not weapons. I'm the weapon. If a person gets fixated on my steel, goodie for me, for I'm comfortable empty-handed, too. Ultimately, for a weapons practitioner, experimentation is a must. Even for the casual user, playing around with different carry positions, and for different occasions and environments, is fundamental. Life is dynamic, and so, too, are the myriad ways in which our tools may need to come into play. Environmental/situational awareness is mandatory. As well as flexibility in how we traverse up-and-down the use of force scale. I'm happy to own some nice bowies, a Tai Pan, and a few other higher end knives, but with the Voyager series, a person is getting $100 retail blades, with arguably the best lock in existence, and at only half to even a third of the cost. That's a steal for decent steel. Rob M. Miller

Not what it's for. Used a fixed blade for that

@@brianlash2423 i did same thing trying to release the lock , fix with a punch tap on liner lock spring right on the little bend

You must of disengaged the lock your self

There is no way this knife should disengage unless you did it yourself ‼️

small punch and lightly tap liner lock spring on the little bend

It’s not hard at all ‼️ strengthen up 💯
