Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[mclaincausey]

It is Parkerized, but generally, I'm not sure that tool steel is what I would want in that format of a knife.

The knife I have in O1 rusted on the edge and the spots where I wore through the coating

Native = ordered. Stoked 

[DougNg]

Nice, please share your thoughts when it comes in. I believe the Native has been around since Spyderco was still pretty new, and the fact it's on it's fifth iteration is a testament to it's timelessness.

Now then there's this:

I'm all over the ZT0022.

[Seul]

That looks like a LOT of fun indeed!..

@natehate:

if you're gonna get that why not just save your self a few bucks and get the zt version
which most people say is better thenthe actual hinderer stuff

0566 is nice… The other ones are too big... They do look spectacularly dull though... I only like the carbon fibre version...

This little bad boy showed up today

[mclaincausey]

Really, really love that tiny little ZT.

Getting used to it. Light but very solid. Definitely better than the Delica for me. Of course now I have a million other Spydercos I'm looking at I wanna try (Techno, Firefly,…)

[Manticore]

Hey @Seul …. Not sure if this is US-only though but worth a shot.

[Seul]

I'll have a butcher's, cheers 

[DougNg]

Didn't care for the Techno. It's really fat. Some folks love it though.

I know SAKs aren't your cup of tea, but thought you'd get a kick out of this. Victorinox does a Chinese New Year model annually.

[Seul]

Good to know. And the Firefly's handles look bulky as well.

Applied some WD-40 to the Native this morning at work… Used it for the rest of the morning... My collegue grabbed it and she said it handled/ felt really well...

The new Para 3 lightweight looks nice though... (And so it begins...)

Edit: that is the best Swiss army knife ever made of course 

[DougNg]

You should try using it in the kitchen, the blade shape is really conducive to cutting vegetables.

[Seul]

So I went through all of the current models on the Spyderco website and the one I'd definitely buy is… the Native  So job well done, Doug...

This is cute though... https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C28OR2/Dragonfly-2-Lightweight-Orange/818

A couple of my really small SAKs when I'm padding around the house in my pajamas (which has been a lot lately since I've been on furlough for five weeks)

It's amazing how handy such a tiny little knife is. Opening battery compartments to kids toys, opening dog food bags, tightening the screws on doorknobs/light switches. I can even rewick my vape with just this one pocketknife.
