Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

I think the spydiechef is calling your name!

 

I couldn't resist this one today..... Factory anodizing with cqi black hardware..... In stock without a huge markup....

Thats a good one, like the scales an nice touch with hardware.

 

Yea. Been knowing Ban for about 20 years now. We used to shoot action pistol matches together back in the day. He stopped going to the matches and our rifle club meetings so lost touch with him for a long time until I did a Shivworks course in 2014 and ran into him again. Didn't even know he started making knives. Top-notch dude and the nicest guy but definitely not the kind of guy you want to tangle with. Probably one of the few knifemakers on the defensive end of things that absolutely knows his business and his craft reflects it.

 

That's awesome. I'm over on Bladeforums as well and have seen his work there. Excellent knife maker!

 

Thats a nice snatch. I'm still trying to resist!

 

I'm a sucker for blue as it is. And as you mentioned the chef only made sense for what I wanted. I hope I like it as much as I want to like it

 

I hope you'll love it more than you'll want to like it lol. From what I've read, some folks love it, but dislike the thin handle profile. But it doesn't bother me. It's a great slicer/user minus if you're not prying stuff. And the spydie hole doesn't have a whole lot of comfort compared to other models. But I still own two

 

DoNUT touch my Spydiechef

 

thats what he said..

Had to clean my

$37 kershaw 1555TI kershaw cryo knife, 2.75" stainless steel drop point blade, assisted opening everyday carry pocket knife

kershaw 1555TI took it apart and it was gunked up and pine needles in the spring assist....cleaned and put back together, works like new.

 

lol

this knife can take a beating!!

I had to use my office strop, after pruning office tomatoes. muddy branches.

 

That blade uses some interesting steel. I go between a Giant Mouse (same one as yours) and a Spiderco Para 3. It's so hard to choose with one. I will say I have not had to sharpen the GM once.

 

mine didnt come that sharp from the factory. i had to hit it with a Lansky for a bit to improve things. now? yea, it is a robust edge. i like it alot.

Keep the wire or swap for one of these from LynchNW? The play in the wire is going to continue to scratch the blue finish but I do like the wire.....

 

Lynch clip, maybe blue. Usually put them on knives myself.
