Best folders for cutting/slicing?

[RippedCityOS]

I'm looking for a good full sized (~4 in. blade) folder to be used for cutting and slicing purposes; a good camp knife for food prep, slicing meat/cheese, cutting rope, etc. I was looking at a Benchmade 741; what other good cutting/slicing folders do you suggest?

I think I'd actually have to recommend the Spyderco Endura with ZDP-189. Sounds great for your needs, and less than $100 for ZDP-189 is awesome.

Spyderco Gayle Bradley. It has CPM-M4 steel which is better than ZDP-189 as long as you wipe it down. The toughness of the steel allowed them to make it with a thin, high hollow grind, so it's a champion slicer. And it will keep an edge for a very long time.

I recommend anything with a full flat grind.

Spyderco Military is a great slicer.

If you want a GREAT knife for the field, and considering something like the 710, you should definitely rethink and take a close look at a Spyderco Military. It is my outdoors folder, when I don't need a knife to dive with (then, I justr take a Spyderco Pacific Salt). It has served me well in all my outings. The blade is flat ground, stainless, long and perfectly tapered to the tip. Honestly, do yourself a big favor and take a good look at one of those. You're not gonna be disappointed.

My D2 Benchmade 710 w/ 30 degree inclusive (On a sharpmaker) is a slicing, cutting machine.

Kershaw skyline is a bit smaller, and a lot cheaper. it is a very nice slicer....

 

[ForestRoamer]

Large Sebenza 21 Insingo it slices better than any knife I have ever owned.

Al Mar Eagle series.

I have the ultralight and it is my favorite folder for food prep.

Spyderco Rock lobster
"Well" any full flat ground Spyderco for that matter.

Spyderco Resiliance

Spyderco Military is a great slicer.

Yyyep. Resilience on a budget. Military or a Flat ground G-10 Police if you want to spend a bit more.

That's definitely the spyderco military, if you'd prefer earth brown g10 and cts-xhp get on a preorder list for the sprint.

I have a CS Recon 1, and I like it.

 

[Screwdriver]

Spyderco Military all the way.....It is the folder I would take if I couldn't carry a fixed blade....in fact I take it daily. Great slicer.....

One fantastic slicer that hasn't been mentioned yet is the Spyderco Chokwe.

 

[ElectrikHellfire]

Short of the Sebenza the great slicers I can think of are:

Spyderco Millie and Opinel 10.

I think you may want to consider carefully what kind of edge you're wanting. A straight edge is best for precision cuts, but less good on rope and such. Serrated edge won't cut as cleanly, and will make a mess of tasks like filleting. If you're looking for a good all around cutter, pick a combo-edge knife, or a REALLY good straight edge. Lots of good options available for that!

The G-10 Spyderco Police with the full flat ground blade (4 3/8") is an excellent slicer.
