Re: Dream Salt Knives
I’d also like to really see more Golden-made Salt offerings in DLC. I find that holds up much better than TiCN, and I like several of the other models mentioned in this thread so far.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I love my spydiechef! It’s already just about perfect but if it was magnacut and thinner behind the edge I would never carry anything else in that size range!

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I’m heading to Western Australia for a three week tour and am kicking myself for not having picked up a Spydiechef in time for the trip - the knives in rental properties are always in a terrible state. Nothing else in my selection is halfway as fit for purpose in the kitchen - the closest options I have are a Manix 2 XL or a Quiet Carry Drift, neither of which are in the same league of ergonomic loveliness as the ‘chef.
I’ll be taking my sharp maker with me, but I’d rather just keep on top of my own knife than have to laboriously re-profile all the garbage we come across at each new AirBnB.
I know I can just buy a basic chef’s knife from a shop when I get there and cart it about, but let’s face it - it’s not the same
*edited to correct ‘both’ to ‘not’. Autocorrect is my nemesis.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
I have an Airbnb. You wouldn't believe what guests have done to my kitchen knives - looks like they used my best one (now in the garbage) to try to hack through rebar. If I leave anything nice and small (like a good corkscrew or scissors), they walk off within a few months....just in case you wondered why things that can't be nailed down are cheap in Airbnbs. Even my pillowcases are cheap now - they get used, I suppose, as laundry bags to take back on the airplane.JoviAl wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:28 amI’m heading to Western Australia for a three week tour and am kicking myself for both having picked up a Spydiechef in time for the trip - the knives in rental properties are always in a terrible state.

I bought my Subvert to carry as a kitchen knife when I travel, but might get a Spydiechef at some point.
Re: Dream Salt Knives
Why not an actual kitchen knife for kitchen knife jobs?
Re: Dream Salt Knives
At home, yes. For travel it's just personal preference - a folder that is pretty good at kitchen tasks, as the Subvert is, can also be used for other things while traveling, like camp chores, whereas a kitchen knife is pretty much just for the kitchen.
Quite frankly, I have very little use for the Subvert, but taking as a 'kitchen' knife when visiting my knife-challenged family, was a good excuse to buy one. It's my coolest knife that I mostly just stare at.

Salt: PE Manix 2 XL in Magnacut
Necromonger: What do you think of this blade?
Riddick: I think it is a half gram heavy on the back end.

Jeez, that’s terrible! Well, that explains that anyway.

Re: Dream Salt Knives
Pretty much what Holysteel said - I can use a folder for other stuff too, but additionally chef’s knives with sheaths seem to be few and far between when I go to shops in random countries. I want one that either folds or sheathes so I don’t get an unpleasant surprise rummaging in my baggage for it and/or shred my clothing. I’ve just seen Cold Steel do a chef’s knife with a sheath, and Spyderco offer blade covers - I just thought about it a bit too last minute to be able to buy any of the above before I fly tomorrow
All of the stockists of Spyderco and Cold Steel in Singapore where I live are Internet only sellers - I can’t even order something and collect from the warehouse. First world problems

Re: Dream Salt Knives
Your good sense has inspired me now Vivi - going to pop to my local butcher’s supplier and see if they’ve got anything with a sheath or a knife roll to transport it in.

Since this thread popped up I’ll request a para 3 full serrated magnacut.

But I'm glad you brought this up. I just replaced most of my personal kitchen knives with Spydercos, and have a box full of good knives that I will take to the Airbnb tomorrow...a few at a timeJoviAl wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2023 7:05 pmJeez, that’s terrible! Well, that explains that anyway.

For grins I'll take photos of them first, then as they get destroyed

Kitchen knife with a sheath? I really want to get one of these… cool knives… expensive but this company makes great stuff.
