Which Spyderco would you use for steak?

[Chiba]

Hey folks,

I know Spyderco doesn't really make steak/kitchen knives but after spoiling myself with good and sharp :spyder: 's I'm realizing how terrible our kitchen knives are. A couple of years back we picked up a made in china $20 dollar set @ Costco. While it did serve us well, the steak knives that we use most are pitted, rusting and dull. The larger kitchen knives from that set aren't in great shape either..

I'm curious what you folks think would be the best :spyder: to use as steak/ kitchen knives and why.

get a sharpmaker and touch up the ones you have. There is not a good option from spyderco for a table knife for everyone.

No. :)

They have been discontinued for some time, but, if you can find any, the serrated K05 Small Utility kitchen knife is the closest thing to a steak knife :spyder: ever made. They came with both black, and red, handles.

Those look good Tom. What kind of steel are they?

Last time I was at a restaurant with crappy steak knives I used my CE foliage green FRN Endura & it worked fine. Got me thinking a fully serrated Endura or Delica would be a great alternative.

I like the serrated stretch idea, do you think a regular edge would be adequate or would i need the jagged edge?

Tom, my thoughts exactly. Don't tell anyone but I cleaned out JFJ of the last of the K05's for my kids when they have a place of there own. I have 2 in my kitchen that get used a lot.

How about a serrated Pacific Salt? Then I wouldn't have to worry about pitting/rust

I use my G10 FFG Delica to cut steaks, pork chops, and chicken all the time. I also use my Bob Terzuola Slipit for the same tasks. :)

I do think a fully se blade would work better. But a razor sharp pe works too! :cool:

I don't like to use "good" knives for cutting food on plates because running the blade onto the plate is bad for the edge! Victorinox makes an inexpensive, serrated table knife that is cheap enough to throw away when too dull to cut anymore.

That's your best bet IMO. Before we got a CUTCO set, my PE Pac Salt was our go to "sharp knife" in the kitchen.

However, as others have pointed out, cutting in the kitchen, especially on ceramic plates, is very hard on a knife, so expect the little spikes to get pretty work down.

I second this. I got a 4" one on eBay last year for like $15 and it's amazing. The super thin SE edge kills in the kitchen :)

Got a couple of red and black ones myself and they've been going strong for about five years now.
They will slice through anything you need a spyderedge to slice through.
