(no I didnt do that)




the blade on my SAK super tinker is what I use
 
I usually use which ever knife I have on me to slice up an apple every day. Been carrying the Spyderco Cat in BD1/G10 lately so its been carving up apples for me like a ninja lately. Hopefully going to get a one of GEC's works of art here in the next week or two. Just got to figure out which one is going to my first

So far nothing outside of the kitchen beats SAK for peeling and cutting apples.
 
I actually really dislike those apple cutter things (the all in one push gizmos). No real reason I guess, just don't like them. Maybe its the cleaning, or that they don't cut around the core very well, or work super well on non-flat apples? Not sure, it could just be irrational dislike.

I was just going to say that I use a "dedicated" apple knife mostly because I don't do as good of a job cleaning my EDC after I cut stuff. I don't want to accidentally put some gunk from my EDC into an apple I'm about to eat. It might be a chicken and egg problem though. I know I don't need to worry about cleaning my EDC as much (more sterilizing actually), because I have the apple knife. I'm sure if I didn't have it, I'd do a better job cleaning...

And in all actuality, its just the food prep knife I keep in my bag at work. I just don't happen to do much food prep at work, and apples are the most common use for it, hence calling it my "apple" knife.

I eat them slice by slice (very thin slices), instead of cutting them into pieces all at once. And so some knives that actually cut the apple just fine, didn't work for the "keep apple slice on side of blade and lift to mouth" portion didn't work as well. The best example of that to me was the Case Peanut I used a few times. The super slim blade cut it great. But the chord of the knife is so narrow, that the apple pieces kept folding over the spine, making it more annoying to eat. The Opinel worked better for this, as its got a wider chord.
 
You should never be permitted to use a knife on food unless you can peel the apple in one continuous piece !!!

Nothing folding cuts an apple better from my experience, the apple is my de facto carry knife test bed in fact. If it won't slice an apple smoothly, I don't carry it.

this one. 1.5 mm thick blade about four inches long.
I EDCed it in my back pack in a card board sheath for like a decade.




You are right though the Endura 4 is great, great. The knife bellow it is even better (for apples) (another grind job).

I'm totally digging the re-grind on the ti-lite! How long did it take you to do?

And um... Here's my other apple slicer.

My edc apple is the gala. And my vic cadet or pioneer work best in slicing it. Next would be my delica. In fact, being able to cut an apple and slice it well is one of my many considerations when buying an edc knife. The blade must be atleast long enough to cut the apple in half. My native5 falls just short of this requirement, but it slices very well.
 
SAK Camper or Spartan are my only EDC these days. One blade to eat and second blade to cut things, these two models are covering my needs.
 
Ever since I escaped the carnival I've tried to stop eating blades of any kind.

For slicing an apple I like my M4 PM2:p
 
Whatever knife I have on me at that moment..

Actually I don't use a knife to cut my apples unless I'm dipping them in Peanut Butter
