Americans in my kitchen.....

Cool. Nice pants on the 5. Does your sheath retention snap close with the Micarta ?
 
Maybe some of you guys, or Ethan can chime in on this one.

One thing that I don't fully understand about the Bk5 is that it looks to have the same coating as the other BK&T knives. Those that strip their blades often say that it is for more sanitary food prep. If that is the case why does the Bk5 come with a coating? Is the coating different, more food safe? In the database Bladite shows older Bk5s without the black coating. Why the change?

Thanks

Jeremy

I tend to strip mine, and my 5 will get it soon, but since it gets dunked in hot soapy water, daily, I left it on. I don't like to use coated blades in the kitche, I just left it on, I guess, because.

Perhaps I will strip it later on.

As far as the older ones go, they were coated, except for a few stainless one, me thinks, but I could be wrong.

Bladite? Ethan?

Sorry, I should specify, my DAUGHTERS Soccer stuff 5 days a week. But, I do get out and run and kick with them, but not like they do. When we get home, I rush them off to the shower, I cook dinner, they eat, we spend about 10 mins of quality family time together, then I get'em in bed. Get up and do it again. They love it though.

nah, I figured you was talking about your kids... myself, I'm not any good at running let alone playing soccer :) ..

I take my kids to music practice every Thursday and that's about all we go going at the moment, now when gymnastics and baseball start up>>> whew........

but even then its not 5 days a week...

so I'm turning in my card :D
 
I use my non kitchen blades to cook with too, makes it more fun. Thanks for the para military pics I keep contemplating picking one up, starting to carry my old Spydies again.

Here is a link where you can see which Spyderco's are made in the USA. I do have to say though that all their knives are made well no matter what the country of origin.

Thanks for the link Liveitloud, I'll use it for sure! Believe me I understand quality comes from all over. I know this topic has been mulled over and over and I don't wanna jack up Moose's thread with it, I just prefer to keep my cash stateside.
