Spyderco Subway Bowie: Compact Tactical Neck Knife with LC200N Steel

The Spyderco Subway Bowie is a compact, fixed blade knife designed by renowned French knife maker and martial artist Fred Perrin. This knife has been specifically developed for discretion, safety, and extreme durability in wet or corrosive environments.

With a total length of 13.00 cm and a blade length of 7.00 cm, the Subway Bowie is an extremely compact tool. The knife weighs only 95 grams, complete with sheath, and is designed for concealed carry.

- LC200N blade steel: The blade is made from extremely corrosion-resistant LC200N steel. This nitrogen-alloyed steel is known for its long-lasting sharpness and resistance to rust, even when exposed to salt water. The blade is finished with a reflection-reducing ceramic coating.
- FRN Handle: The handle is injection molded with fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN). This material makes the knife surprisingly light without compromising strength and provides a good grip. The ergonomics are characteristic of Perrin, with a deep finger groove (choil) for maximum grip security.
- Discreet Carrying Option: The Subway Bowie comes with a custom-shaped, slim Boltaron® sheath (10 cm x 4 cm) and an included chain for discreet carrying around the neck.
- Details: The handle is equipped with a cord eye for attaching the included carrying cord.

The Subway Bowie offers three key advantages: extreme corrosion resistance, optimal portability, and a secure grip. The LC200N steel makes the knife ideal for use in marine or humid environments. The lightweight, compact design is perfect for EDC use, and the Boltaron sheath allows for quick, discreet access when carried on the neck.

The Perrin design, with its pronounced finger groove, provides an exceptionally secure grip, which is crucial for a knife without a traditional handle.

The Subway Bowie is a fixed blade knife and does not require a locking mechanism. The knife is held with a three-finger grip, with the index finger resting firmly in the choil for control and safety. For neck carry, the chain is threaded through the eyelets of the Boltaron® sheath and worn around the neck, so that the knife lies flat and concealed against the body.

- Blade length: 7.00 cm (smooth ground)
