Which Spydie Would You Reach For First For Foodslicing(meals)

[Slick]

I made another post here in support of the santuko but the post failed. ???

I sill like the 9.5 inch chef's but it requires a huge cutting board or it will try to cut you when you (me!) try and choke up to compensate for the short board.

The eight inch Spyder edge slicer rules all other knives for crusty artisan breads. Crusty breads you HAVE met your match.

The Yang ... duh!

Oh, I'm glad you asked... working in a kitchen all day, you just knowI'm gonna try out my Spydies! ( Yes, I wash them thoroughly first! ) So far, at the top of the list is the large Wegner - second, Endura 3 - third, a tie between the Caly 3's and Delica 3 ( wait 'til the flat grind Delica comes my way ). Oh yes, the Centofante 3 is also quite swell. I know you'd think the Wegner would be "not so swell" with the thick blade and hollow grind, but you'd most definately be wrong. Also, a little length goes a long way with most food prep. Seriously, I love that Wegner! It's also a terrific all around blade shape. I haven't really tried out my Ocelot yet, but I know it'll be awseome.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I don't have any really good kitchen knives yet.......but if I had to use a folder I would use a SE Military.

Heck just today I used my SS Dragonfly SE to cut a bagel in half. I just had to go around it instead of through it. :)

[bluemist]

SE Atlantic Salt for everything except chopping, endura or stretch for that.

[smcfalls13]

FB Temp or the old Perrin would be my first choice. Going the folder route, the Szabofly

Makes it more fun,cause it takes a more precision cut,nice to see what the lil' D/fly is realy capable of.

for food prep, my Spydie Santoku is the best kitchen knife i have ever used.

for cutting up my actual meal on a plate, the only spidies i have used are my ats55 police, and my yellow pacific salt

my normal EDC is now a Sak of some variety, and they has been used as a "steak knife" a few times now

My favorite Spydie in the kitchen is still the Homemaker. For use at the dinner table, the Stretch II would be my favorite. It slices like the best and doesn't look too much out of place between the usual tableware.

I have to say, very shortly I will be using my Mule!!!!!

I'll usually reach for the Military. Nice long blade with a good amount of belly makes it perfect for food prep and eating.

Ditto. The nice flat spine makes it easy to scrape the cutting board.

i happen to use whatever spydie is in my pocket at the moment.

but i do have two dedicated "kitchen knives" from spyderco that get a lot of use on a variety of foods:

SE Temperance
PE Vagabond

Ditto! :D That little bit of guard will get in the way for some things, but it still should make a nice little utility knife. Of course, that's not all I'll be doing with it. I do want to put it through it's paces to see what it's capable of and give Spyderco some useful feedback.

:spyder: :spyder: :cool: :spyder: :spyder: I tend to use whatever Spyder I'm carrying at the time, and no matter what I'm cookin, preping, or slicing. I find myself using my Ti-Atr/se, and Manix/ce, and D'allara/pe :D

[Crowbar1]

I like the Temperance

!!! That is actually a good idea. I read somewhere that the #1 cause of emergency room vists from kitchen accidents was people cutting themselves as they held their bagels. Cutting around the bagel with a *sharp* knife might have prevented those injuries.
