Spyderco Forums

The serrated K04 Utility 6.5" is loads of fun in the kitchen, particularly if you already have a chef's knife you are happy with. A bit more traditional and all-rounder is probably the K08 Santoku which I have no practical experience with. I have used many a santoku though, and like them for t...

The only one I have from Spyderco is the K11 Cook's knife. It's fantastic.

They have a new collaboration with Murray Carter. One set in BD1N and the other in clad Superblue.

I hear that the K08 Santoku is a great knife.

Thank you! I will look into the K08 Santoku!

Good morning all!

Now that I got a few Spyderco folders on the way to try I was wondering if you all could recommend some kitchen knives? I cook a lot but I never looked into a good knife before. I think a sharp capable knife could make slicing and dicing fun again. Maybe. Lol

Thank you!

Smock. Shipped today from DLT. Oh I almost bought that today! It’s such a cool piece... I might still get it once I picked up all the little knives first. It’s a tad too much knife for a newbie. I hope you love yours! Thank you. I hope I love it too. That was really the first Spyderco knife I liked...

Ok. I will try the Astute as well. Thank you! So we went back to the gun store today and I asked the nice man if I could see everything he has in stock. Yesterday I was so focused on the length of the blades I didn’t pay attention to the handles and how they fit in my hand. So today I held them all...

Hi Blackpearl. Now that Sal has welcomed and warned you, I’ll add my voice. Welcome. I must say I admire your efforts to equip the entire family. Not everyone here does that, I suspect. But beware the extra slippery slope you now survey. You have more people to keep from going over the edge and down...

Ohh! I should get this! Where do I find this?

I went with hubby to a local gun shop today and was pleasantly surprised to see a few Spyderco models. We were able to try the Delica, Smock, Native 5 and PM2. I was so excited to try the Delica but ironically I did not like the feel of it my hand! The handle was very long and narrow so I didn’t fee...

Hello and welcome! :spyder: As another female person with very petite hands, I've found that the size of the overall knife doesn't matter to me as much as the ergonomics of the handle. I wanted to love the Manix, but the contouring and finger choils were just set too wide apart and I couldn't get a...

Anything biggishwill go to Hubby and the smaller ones to the girls. OMG! That is SO sexist! This is 2020. Ladies can carry big knives and even vote! The boys can wear earrings and carry a little knife. Not me, mind you. But it's ok. 😆 Enjoy your new toys. Keep 'em sharp. The pointy end goes toward ...

Welcome. I am a bit puzzled though... you bought three knives. One for everyone else in your family? :p For smaller hands (and actually bigger ones too), the dragonfly is wonderful. I second the frn version rather than the g10 for better portability. I know right? I just bought 2 more bigger ones t...

Wow that was intense! Are all releases this crazy?

Chaparral Sun & Moon looks so cool! Delica looks very nice too.

I’m watching YouTube to learn more before I order them. I wish I can go to a store to view them before buying...hard to buy sight unseen. And harder to wait for them to come, for patience is not my greatest virtue!

Hi Sal, From my quick research it came down to Spyderco and Benchmade. I’m sure both brands make great quality knives but to my eyes the Benchmade just look like any other pocket knives. Spyderco on the other hand made my heart skips a beat. The curves, the color combos, the handles...just sexy as h...

Hi! Wow thank you all for the warm welcome! I just googled pocket knives and Spyderco kept coming up and once I saw the photos it was love at first sight! Thank you for the suggestions, I will look into them and see which ones fit me best before ordering more. I also bought the Manix 2 LW REX 45 Spr...

Hi everyone! How I ended up here is pretty comical. After weeks of watching Mountain Men and Alone I was convinced we all needed a good pocket knife! So the next thing I knew I bought 3 Spyderco knives! Gosh I hope I did ok with my picks. For hubby I bought the Spyderco Para2 Blue/purple G-10. For e...
