Best Spydie for backyard steak ...

[ChrisinHove]

I say steak, but what I really mean is ...

You know the party where someone is grilling meat until it has the texture of woolly mammoth or dodo, and all you are given is a flimsy plastic knife. It's on an increasingly soggy paper plate as well, risking puncture wounds ...

I'm feeling a Spyderedge, but what model? Will my CalySE suffice, I wonder.

SE Pacific Salt would get the job done. Long enough to slice a bite off in one cut, and H1 means you don't have to worry about getting it perfectly clean after you eat.

Any sharp plain edge. Serrated is highly overrated for steak knives.

The cleanest one in my pocket

I always try to keep a clean PE on hand for exactly such situations. Terrible to try to use a plastic (or even steel) steak knife for cutting meat. Though I really hate having to eat it overcooked more than using substandard utensils.

I think the reason restaurants use serrated knives is because it's less maintenance on their part. The teeth of the serrations drag on the plate and the scallops stay sharp. I can't really remember the last time I used the "steak knife" at a restaurant. I vote PE military.

I think we just had a thread about best grilling knife like last week. But for the sake of entertainment, the equalizer here is that soggy paper plate. A serrated edge is typically the go to edge for steak when used on a ceramic or glass plate, but it would shred the heck out of a soggy paper plate, leaving your potato salad and baked beans running all over your aunt's table cloth. Then your aunt is gonna start yelling at you and your drunk uncle is gonna step in and next thing you know the cops are showing up for a domestic violence call and your uncle ends up getting tased and arrested and you know Aunt Mary doesn't have bail money right now because she just spent a fortune to pay off your cousin Jimmy's dial up internet bill.

So, what we really need is a Spyderfork. This will allow you to properly stab the steak and pick it up and bite it like a caveman. This is also a far more mobile eating method that will allow you to stay light on your feet in the event that your aunt's horny dog gets loose and starts humping on your leg again.

+1 The Pacific is also very capable of hard use and therefore fine for lending out to people who might abuse it at a bbq..

For something a bit fancier my favorite food knife would probably be a CE Military but that's a bit harder to find.

Traveling for work and have a PE Dfly and a LBHB SE on me and had a coworker ask "why 2 knives?"...duh- one to eat with and one to cut with

Seems completely logical to me. I usually have 3 (4 counting the multitool)

I spend all my money on knives and beer so my backyard steaks are called hamburgers. :) The irony is that a knife isn't needed to eat a burger but I have three on me. :D

I like your priorities

Besides you can always use the knives for slicing up an onion into rings :D

+1 and I knew you would say that. If you didn't I would have.

Sounds like a business opportunity. Spydercos are expensive here but great beer is cheaper than water. Why don't we figure out how to open a barbecue joint that sells good steaks and great beer and spydercos

I remember Forrest Griffin of UFC fame saying "beer is an acquired taste- might as well acquire a taste for a cheap one"
