Eating With Your EDC?

What do you guys do to clean your folders after food prep?

Yeah, I run my blade through the sink, too. If I feel like soaping, I "strop" (edge-trailing swipes) on a sponge with dishwasher soap then rinse. Anything that isn't stainless gets a simple mineral oil rub from a rag every once in a while.
 
Yup, use my blades for eating all the time. Especially if I'm at a restaurant and am having a nice piece of meat. Restaurant knives sucks balls......so I usually have a nice slipjoint to eat with instead.
 
Theres only so many times i can use my folders so i def food prep and eat with them. My wife thinks its ridiculous and feel lucky shes at least tolerant about it. No pics buts steak n chops are no match.

i don't always edc a fixed blade. but when i do i don't use a sheath



**i never eat with my edc usually because there are chef knives always within arms reach of me. and they are easier for me to work with than a folder. as for when I don't eat at work, well its either sleep or work for me in this lifetime so i wouldn't need a knife for food prep.
 
I never eat with my EDC knife. Ceramic dulls the edge. That's one of the reasons table knives and steak knives exist. Also, I don't want food particles and sauces/juices in the joints.

I prefer Spyderco in my sandwiches.
 
I shouldn't have look into this thread at this hour- it's
making me hungry.

Use my knives when I can, especially at home, nothing is
sacred. A slicer grind to a slab of steak is just heaven.
 
I use my EDC to eat at work when I need an 'edge' to prep or eat with.

In fact I often carry a Caly 3 just for that purpose.

Clean up is soap and water and a good blow out and air dry … hit the pivot with Tuff-Glide once in a while ...

I wont use my Cryo and Tenacious knives since they have all kinds of chemicals on them from work. But I have no problem eating with my ZT.

Not really my EDC, but I keep a couple of Opinels in strategic places (car, office, work bag) and will use that in lieu of restaurant knives. I get stuff on my main EDC blades from cutting and cleaning that I'd rather not eat.
 
The simple answer - yes.

I will. I have. However, I clean them well first and even beyond that I am isolating my knives. My EDC is cleaner = I watch what I cut with it (boxes, stripping wire). My utility knife (was my EDC, and sometimes still is) I cut everything with. I won't use it with food anymore, when I did I scrubbed it off REAL well first. I just won't bother with it now, that's what my other knives are for and I will try to keep it that way.
 
I have been known to use a SAK or a Buck 110 out of necessity from time to time...camping, field schools out in the middle of no-where, etc.)
 
Funny, during dinner today I was looking at the insignificant serrations on my steak knife thinking, 'I wonder if anyone ever decided to buy Spyderco fully serrated Enduras or Delicas or something like that for steak knives.'
