Knife works?

THinking about naming your knives already??? I think you've got it bad. :) Wasn't it you that said you can't post a picture til this weekend? You do know the rule don't you? You are not allowed to use any knife until you put a picture of it on this forum. :) That's why I bought a camera. I wanted t...

Welcome and congratulations on the Vallotton. After several years of collecting and some pretty highly regarded knives this may still be my most revered knife in my collection. Given I carry my Caly 3.5 and Techno alot more at this moment, but the Vallotton is another level of refinement. After han...

Thanks for all the help fellas. I truly appreciate it. What actually got me to looking at Spyderco knives was a suggestion by my cousin to by a Mora 2000. I wanted a good fixed blade knife for fishing and what not. So, got the Mora 2000 and was really impressed with it (12C27) and only $28 BTW ;) -b...

Brown just delivered my very firstest ever Spidey...a Vallotton....me likey!

Whoa! That's like asking who the best comic book superhero is! LOL :p On a serious note, though, I would say that a good number of people here tend to gravitate towards these models (in no particular order): • Paramilitary2 (any variation) • Caly 3 • Caly3.5 • Manix2 (any variation) • Military • An...

Most will slice well, but you can't argue with physics. The thinner the blade the better the slicer, so aside from the Catcherman which I believe is 2mm, the next best is the Chaparral series at 2.5mm, besides the smaller knives like the Ladybug and Dragonfly. The Caly 3/3.5 are both excellent slic...

Thank you!

The Vallotton is a BA knife. It doesn't make the best slicer, but it's built like a dump truck and will take a beating. I've had a couple threads on it, you may wanna check out. http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?56059-I-really-want-a-Vollotton&highlight=vallotton+review http://www.s...

Just one thing though this knife is SHARP.
Which makes me wander which is the best steel for sharpness/cutting-slicing.

Jacknifeh- thanks for the comments. I really appreciate all the 411 I can get.
Strong dog- Brown just came and man oh man did you hit the nail on the head! This is like no other knife I've owned. Its awesome

So, what do y'all think about the Vallotton?
I read a lot of good reviews on it.

I can see right now that this is going to be very addictive lol

Wow. The Sage 3 looks perfect. And more affordable.
Thx again.

Cool. I'll check it out. Thx!

And for a 2nd I'm seriously considering the Domino.
