I like the Military. Though for ideal chopping and dicing it would be both thinner and longer. Gets the job done for me well enough, better than any other folder I have. I get quite pissed if I end up having to do some traveling food prep on the odd day I have something besides my Millie.

I haven't handled the Calypso, but it's 3mm instead of the Military's 4, and it's only a hair shorter. I'd imagine it's a screamer in the kitchen.

An actual kitchen knife.

Why do people mess around with pocket knives for kitchen work? There are so many awesome kitchen knives you can get for cheaper than these pocket knives. It's another way to expand your knife collection and into knives that will be used daily for something beyond cardboard.

$150 Japanese made santoku with a 7" ZDP-189 blade.

52100 Carbon steel chef's knife designed by Bob Kramer.

Hammered finish carbon blades.

Standard stainless steel VG-10.

I'm a chef, but I love Spyderco knives. Of course they're gonna get some action sometime. We use them for such to get some use and enjoyment out of our pocket knives - why else?

I use my Salt 1 a lot at work for cutting broccoli and cauliflower. FFG knives work best for the kitchen, though. I'm thinking Stretch or Endura. I love my Salt 1, though. I will say that nothing beats a 10" chef's knife for most kitchen duties - nothing at all. Even 12", if you have the room.
- best wishes, Jazz.

I keep my SE Aqua Salt in the kitchen and it works great as a slicer of onions, tomatoes, and meats. I don't rely on serrated blade to chop or dice though. For those functions I lean towards dedicated kitchen knives.

I'm not apt to bring a nice kitchen knife with me out on the town, or camping, however my Military will certainly be in my pocket.

Granted, in that picture we brought a buttload of stuff, I am normally a bit more of a minimalist but it was a large group. So, a decent chef's knife would have been easy enough to pack. There were a couple kitchen knives packed, but their edge was about the same sharpness as my Military's spine. And we were only prepping shish kabobs, so no fine dicing was required.

Looks like fun.

Exactly my recommendation, Deacon! Mine has seen a *lot* of use over since I got it in the 1990s... Chop chop chop!

I have posted plenty of photos previously, but the Mule makes a great chopping and dicing knife.

If a folder is a must, I grab the Military, Police 3 or Caly 3.5

Speaking of kitchen knives - there were sightings of the new line of Spyderco kitchen knives at the SFO late last year. Has anyone heard any news lately on possible release of these? I need a replacement for my long-gone K-04 Utility Knife...

The bug, it slices, it dices, it makes hundreds of Julian fries.
But wait, there's more.
