My wife is currently using my shiny new Spyderco Jumpmaster to cut-up veggies ie carrots and green beans.
Does that mean she approves of my Spyderco purchases ?

It depends on the condition of the edge when she is done...

I think she needs a darn dao to cut the Christmas ham.

Did you look in her eyes?
That's the look of love.
Now get her some Spyderco kitchen knives, and a folder or two.
WAF is +1
(Spyderco forum may need a marriage counseling subforum. It's a love/hate thing.
Could boost sales.)
kind regards,

My wife asks to borrow my knife quite often and she has said on many occasions that she is glad I carry one. I don't think she approves of me owning a trunk load of them. :o
She has learned to appreciate the difference between a dull knife, a sharp knife and razor sharp knife. I knew we had made real progress when she started asking me to sharpen the kitchen knives because they were too dull. I knew we had broken through to the other side when she started telling me to sharpen the kitchen knives because they were not effortlessly slicing through tomatoes.
Does that make her and edge junky? :D
If she is using a Jumpmaster in the kitchen you need better kitchen knives. If she likes the serrated edge consider a K04 utility. It is thin and the serrations are much more suited to kitchen work. I have the blue handled one and my wife likes it a lot.

Yes, sharpening the kitchen knives is a great service for the cooks in your life. They get more use than most folders do.

This is pretty much exactly what my wife experienced after I got my Sharpmaker for Christmas a couple of years ago. She went from being happy that the kitchen knives weren't 7 or 8 years of dull to noticing when the tomatoes squish slightly instead of slicing cleanly.
She also carries her own N5 LW every day, so we've come a long way. :)

While my wife won’t carry or use mine, she does tell me the kitchen knives are dull & not slicing salmon effectively. :cool:

Hi Jacala,
Welcome to our forum.
As Spydergirl mentioned, get her serrated K04 and she'll give you back your Jumpmaster.

+1 on the K04! My girl loves the K04s & K05 that I got for Christmas last year. She uses them everday.

My wife thinks I am Spydie-nuts, but immediately confiscated my black Ladybug as soon as she saw it. She also plans to steal my soon to arrive Panchenko Dog Tag. I am hiding my Roadie from her for the time being. :D
She sees the value now in a sharp blade for food prep, opening plastic packages (we have a 5 year old daughter, so that means lots), breaking down cardboard, etc.
She is also currently using my Para 3 whenever she cuts limes and lemons for cocktails, so maybe Sal’s K04 idea is worth exploring. A **** of a lot cheaper than my Spydercos too. :)

Thanks Sal and thanks guys and gals.
I've been a "spyderco lurker" for a few years but I'm now hooked.
I've promised the "chief cook and bottle washer" that I will buy her
a K04 and a K05 in the New Year.
