I'll have to enter a cutting competition now ...

Post by Sequimite »

I've purchased a few items from Jose Diaz and have been fascinated with his cutting competition knives. They were too expensive for my meager interest, but I just bought a used one on ebay for a very reasonable price. It's 52100:

Ok, how do you do pictures now?

I figured it out.

What don't you want to cut with that thing? It really is amazing how thin he gets those behind the edge. I've been tempted, but have not yet gotten one. Congrats on the find!

Ugh...

I've been thinking over one of his smaller blades for a while now. Not good for the Spydie budget.

Please share the wealth. How do pictures? :)

When I dropped in the link to the picture and then went into edit mode "[url]" appeared on each end of the link. I changed "url" to "img" and the image appeared.

That's what I ended up doing too. I miss the little tool for the pictures. I'd guess it'll be fixed in the next little while.

Nice knife, BTW! It looks like a serious cutter. You'll have to let us know how it does in more mundane tasks as well. I would think something like that would be useful in the kitchen. Not as much belly as a Santoku, but not too far off.
42 Spyderco fixed blades and counting...

I'll watch for it. bladesports is still showing 2011 dates.
