I’m going to spend a month with my new one. I had this design 2-3 years ago and gifted it to my dad.Ramonade wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 8:22 amI suspect this might just be a design that won't work for me, I'll see it very fast tomorrow, when I receive the new one.
If that is indeed the case, the dealer will certainly accept another refund and I'll buy the Caly 3.5, that is finally appearing as soon to be in stock after more than a year !
From reflection, I remember now, this knife takes a break in period. It’s very different from any other Spyder I own. It’s my only flipper (if you don’t count compression lock as a flipper.) Though like a grandpa, I like to open it with two hands.
The ergonomics of this knife are very very interesting. It’s greatest strength is pull cuts. It disappears in the pocket. It’s an odd shape too, kinda banana like… weight while holding it open is right in the middle of the knife (the area your pointer finger rests.)
It’s a big departure from the N5. I like the pinch grip the best for the spydie chef knife (like a paring knife.)
The blade thickness… it’s thick. Makes cutting veggies a little awkward. If you use it as a kitchen tool, you’ll have to adjust your cutting style.
I like this knife most because as Evil D mentioned in a resurrected post from 2015; A pocket knife isn’t the best tool for the job. The Spydie Chef is a big compromise. I think it’s a great edc tool that dips its toes into the culinary world.
The spydie chef does one thing in the kitchen really well. It can slice a tomato unlike any other knife I own. If you like cutting through thick tomato skins, this knife excels there! Onions too! So if you are a Summer/Spring/Fall grill master, this knife is probably the best designed tool for the job.
Also it’s a Salt knife! And LC200N is no slouch! A rust proof steel that’s tough! And, it’s so so easy to sharpen.
