Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

[Matt]

It's a great knife.  I think you'll like it.  There are after market pocket clips if you like the knife to sit deeper in your pocket.  Unfortunately the Para 3 is notorious for having the pocket clip positioned under the lanyard hole making it stick out a bit further.  It never bothered me enough to buy a new clip but if you spend any time reading up on the Para 3 you'll see this is a common point of discussion.  The action on mine right out of the box was really smooth.  I trust you'll share the same experience.  Learn to flick it open with your middle finger instead of your thumb if you want to be a true Spyderco nerd.  Sadly my new Spydiechef does not allow for that with the frame lock getting in the way.

Thanks for the details. I will be exploring different clip/carry options but the inside of vests, type III and CPO’s seems the most likely. I will also be playing with opening closing possibilities. We could open a sweepstake on how many days until I cut myself badly enough to require medical attention.

If you’re anything like me it will take no time at all.

Jeans are why we have 2 legs and knives are why we have 10 fingers.  You've at least got a fighting chance.

I've never cut myself with one of me own knives… And that's coming from someone who's clumsier than a blind, three-legged donkey, trying to ski down Alpe d'Huez during the night...

I stuck a karambit half an inch into the meaty part of my hand and had to superglue the tip of my ring finger back on on another occasion

[Matt]

The tips of my fingers are in an almost constant state of 1st Aid.  Still all accounted for though.

More than I can say for my toes….

I love cooking - and I love a good kitchen knife.
These are my top kitchen knives I've owned so far.

The knife on top is from an Austrian knife maker, Benjamin Kamon. Unique design, very good knives.

The one in the middle is from a freaky hobbyist, based in Germany. He creates nearly perfect knives and is interested to check out some unusual knife steels.

And the knife on the bottom is made by a 17 years old guy…
