Spyderco Street Bowie - A Self Defense Masterpiece from Fred Perrin

Former French commando, competitive fighter, kali expert and general badass Fred Perrin designed the low-profile Street Bowie for Spyderco and it and its smaller brother the Street Beat Bowie and they have been raging success ever since. Know for his stashable, highly ergonomic tactical designs, Perrin knocks the cutting performance of this knife out of the park, with its fully flat ground VG-10 blade and made it comfortable with a very rounded and contoured handle. This would serve excellently in many other roles, for instance camp food prep knife or light duty outdoors knife. However you use it, it stashes away nicely with the provided molded plastic handle. Great knife, highly recommended!!

Good thing you got it dude. I know the feeling of contemplating a purchase for too long and seeing the knife discontinued. 😄

IMO this knife is perfect on all counts, including (and especially) the sheath. Those who experienced the horrible sheath of the Street Beat needn't fear the same with the Street Bowie - the sheath is PERFECT.

Actually no, the sheath is injection molded crap- it dulls the knife just like a CS secure-ex.

It's a beautiful knife, to be sure. I just want to throw out, though--its SO easy to make a knife like this yourself. If you've never made a knife, go for it! You can do it with minimal tools and some elbow grease. It's a very fun and rewarding hobby. Not knocking buying one--I'm just saying. You want a great, at-home hobby for grown ups? Go for it!

I suggest EDC in scout carry at 90° in the front of your pants..... it's where mine is literally right now!! And live's 99% of the time. You can deploy it from both hands that way, as well as having the handle going right into the hand automatically, when placed correctly, as you bring the arm up from beside you 4 or 5 inches only.

Sorry that TacPrep dude was pissing me off, it looks like he's now deleted his initial comment which deletes the entire string. I dont like insulting anyone who is reasonable/open minded etc, but when someone is stating opinions as facts and that the knife is worth no more than 30 dollars etc etc, this insinuates that anyone who owns the knife is an idiot for buying it. Even though i dont own this particular knife, this insinuation pisses me off! Then we had the i'm a 'knife operator' or some such bull crap. Anyway thought he needed taking down a peg or three. As to this knife I think it's pretty cool, and I have been collecting/into cutlery since the late 80's. Peace!

I suggest wearing it scout carry. It's about 5 inches away from the draw, and the natural sweep of the arm puts the handle directly in the hand when positioned right.
@wingardwearables 3 жыл бұрын
@@dick_richards I should try that. Right now I’ve taken the clip off and am carrying it in a simple “bandolier” with flat stock paracord (think 550 paracord without the core). I have the big loop of flat stock tied to a strong plastic alligator clamp that clips to the waistband, that way the bandolier’s position doesn’t shift around. The flat stock is routed through the grommets of the sheath so that the knife hand is just at waistband height, sheath pointed up under my arm. Conceals well even when wearing a t-shirt. Draws in ice pick grip or saber grip depending on hand position. But I should try scout carry out and see if it’s comfortable sitting in a modern butt cupping car seat. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@TheKnifeJunkie I've been running this knife with my shoulder harness for a couple of weeks now, and it works really well. Extremely light, and low profile against the body. One of the Bastinelli's would be perfect too. It also balances nicely with the Empress on the opposite side.

What your opinion now on it. Has it stood up to your opinion. I personally really love the design. I also like the steel choice. To me it's a knife that I can use for more then just in case. I try to carry knives that I can actually use but are very capable. I always carry a xl vaquero because it's the best self-defense design I've ever found. I just love fixed blades. They are just hard to carry comfortably. Any advice on how it carries? That other fixed blade was beautiful (couldn't spell his name)

I do still love this knife. The sheath can be challenging in terms of rattle and overall size, but I don’t really even mind that any more, though I’ve been thinking of making a kydex sheath for it for sometime. If I’m the fence, go for it, it’s more than a self defense knife.

I have Spyderco Street Beat LW, which is smaller but has same blade profile. Street bowie edge in this video looks the same as Street Beat factory edge. It was terrible for it's price (angle was around 20-22,5 felt like it had been sharpened with P1000 or P1200, as if the knife was planned to be used as puukko or some bushcraft knife, which in theory makes sense because you can always reprofile it away from bushcraft-style edge if you don't plan to use it that way. After reprofiling it to 18 degrees and sharpening with P3000 it cuts really nicely. VG-10 was quite easy to sharpen. Sheath grommets are not a big deal if it's IWB at 45 degree angle.
