It's funny, I wish the chef was bigger and the swayback was smaller.

I want to try a Techno / Techno 2. Fat blades aren't my things but the design pulls me in
That's the big Spidiechef proto sitting on top of the yellow box.
Danke sehr, Danke

Looks like my cup of tea

Re: Corrosion and Edge Retention

An "edge" is thin, and exposed on both sides, so it it the first part of a blade to respond to corrosion. This was the main problem in trying to find a Salt Water Steel. Even with blades that are coated or chrome plated, the edge is sharpened so it is not protected by the coating or plati...

Re: Shot Show recap, thoughts, things I learned

Just to comes to show how important seeing a knife in person is compared to just reading about them, and looking at videos

The Kapara is more what I expected the spydiechef to be. Feels quite at home as a good/snacks knife.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?

I like purple/black a lot - lots of options in cruwear now, though

I'm sure a natural g10/m4 Bodacious is coming at some point

What I really wish there were more of is the green/orange red 45 cutlery shoppe exclusives

Re: Delica 4 in 2024?

So, uh, 15v delica while we wait for your collab to come out? Spyderco should come out with the "knife nerds set" - like 3-4 different models in specific steels that are optimized for the design and grind. The delica is a legend, and this is coming from someone who started with a Calypso J...

Re: I don't give a #@$! about stainless

Stainless is great when you get soaked outside in the rain and you still keep working. Also great when you're cutting something moist and don't have to immediately look for something to dry your knife off with.
