Farewell YIN-YANG kitchen cutlery!

[JspyEDC]

Hoping it was a typo on my packing slip this week... At the bottom of the page it read this way....

"kx06 no longer available"

This is a huge surprise. I only have 6 of each remaining. What will I give relatives for Christmas this year? If this is the case, are there food prep knives in development? Anybody have info on this?

I hope your wrong or I will be forced to get a back up set. They are great kitchen knives. Very versitile.

[tonydahose]

that stinks...like you said maybe this is making way for new and improved kitchen cutlery.

[rlw1979777]

That would be awsome I hope they come out with an entire set... In a butcher block.

Just bring back the Santuko, it was the best all around kitchen knife spyderco ever made anyway...I have used mine for over 15 years and its still going strong.....Doc :D

Yoinks. If so, I'm glad I bought two of each!



I still think that a Chinese cleaver would rock.

I just picked up a Yang a couple of days ago. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it looks like it will be great. Looks like I'll have to get a Yin before they're all gone.

If this is true, than it is the sad news. These knives are the only kitchen knives with very good steel, which will not brake your vallet.
Yang was the first knife for my wife to learn the difference between good kitchen knife and what the most people have on their kitchens. After few month we bought one more for my sister-in-law to learn the same thing. Both of them love it. Very good knives.

Say it ain't so!!

In my house, the Yang is the Spyderco that actually gets the most use of all.

I gifted a Yang to a life-long teacher of home economics, and she says it is by far and away the best knife she's ever owned...and she's a former Henckels devotee.

Sure hope Sal and Crew have something lined up to replace it, hopefully a paring knife with a more wieldable blade.

Hi All

A little advice please, I am thinking about getting a set of these are they a solid type blade that does NOT flex or are they a thin blade thats bendy?

By solid blade I mean like a mule for example (although prob not as thick) if tip down on its side against a cutting board how much downward flex does it have?

I suppose in a long winded way I am asking if they are quite rigid as thats what Im looking for.

Any comments gratefully appreciated (if you can understand my question). :confused:

Thanks.. :)

Thin at 2mm and a tiny little bit of flex but not much. Both the Yin and Yang cut like lasers with very little effort. These are excellent food prep knives.

Can Sal or other Co's confirm this "no longer available" story???

I surely hope NOT

[Ian UK]

Yes please Sal or one of the crew can you confirm this rumour? :confused:

Thanks :)
