I am a fan of all things spyderco! I find that often I use my super blue mule in the kitchen for food prep instead of the dedicated kitchen knives I already have. However I find some tasks too large, or not suited for the mule, so I end up having to use a non- :spyder: knife as well...
The spyderco kitchen knives I see on the bay end up selling for a premium, and no one ever seems to have a complete set. Is it just me, or was spyderco's last kitchen knife disco'd a long while back? The ones I see appear to be somewhat older designs.
Given the strides forward spyderco has made in the areas of new steels and designs, I would love to see what they are capable of now!
I'd love to see a new set come out with some of the steels we have been raving about recently for food prep. Personally I'll take my whole set in Super Blue!!
What do yall think? what would you like to see?
Kitchen Knives - More please!
Honestly, I'd probably like any Spyderco designed kitchen knife, regardless of steel choice.

they have made many over the years, just none recently that I could find. I think if spyderco brings a SB kitchen knife to market at a reasonable price, chefs will be eating them up!captnvegtble wrote:This has been talked about for a while. I believe Spyderco was looking into making a kitchen knife, but I'm not sure about the phase of development. I would love a kitchen knife in Super Blue with a nice ergonomic handle.
I think I heard hushed mutterings of a kitchen line in 8Cr13MoV a few months back. I would LOVE to have a spyderco kitchen set gracing my kitchen since I missed out on their previous offerings. Maybe full tang FRN molded handles so the crafty ones can tear them off and make custom scales??? :) I know, I'm dreaming at this point. If I recall correctly, the logic was that it would be difficult to compete with the japanese kitchen knife offerings because there are so many options already out there. Economically, i think it would make more sense to fill the less occupied niche in the middle ground.

There was talk of a Chinese made set in the last year or two. I believe Sal also recently mentioned looking at BD-1 for kitchen knives, I assume that meant US manufacture, but they could always ship the steel offshore.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

If I understood correctly plans are to ship BD-1 to China.araneae wrote:There was talk of a Chinese made set in the last year or two. I believe Sal also recently mentioned looking at BD-1 for kitchen knives, I assume that meant US manufacture, but they could always ship the steel offshore.

That is my understanding as well.bh49 wrote:If I understood correctly plans are to ship BD-1 to China.

We're working on BD-1 for a run of kitchen pieces.

I really enjoy my VG-10 Yangs. I own three. I would pass on a Chinese 8Cr13MoV kitchen knife, but would be interested in purchasing upscale kitchen knives from Spyderco.
