With the announcement of the return of kitchen knives to the catalog, what can we be expecting to see? Anyone care to post pics of previous offerings?
 
I only have two of them, the Yang and the 6 inch Utility but I use them all the time.

Okay, I realize I'm not even close to a professional photographer so this is the best I got. I really want to get a Spydie Santoku

Somehow I missed this. Can you, please drop a link to this announcement.
I have Yang, paring knife, K04 and K05, both serrated. If Spyderco will offer K05 and K04 in PE, I will be interested. Yang has may be better steel, but I think that K05 and K04 have thinner grind. 9" Gyuto and Santoku also can be interesting.
 
They have the Seto knives available now from the Factory Outlet. They look pretty nice and the prices are decent for VG10.
 
Here's my Spyderco kitchen battery, plus a couple of the damascus Seto's that SFO is now selling:

L - R: Seto 4.72" Utility, Seto Santoku, Spyderco KX05 Sashimi, K01 Bread Knife, K02 Cook's Knife, K03 Carver, K08 Santoku, K07 Flex Boning Knife, K04 6.5" Utility PE & SE, K05 4.5" Utility PE & SE, K09 Paring Knife

Currently have a Seto damascus Chef's Knife on order from SFO and, according to UPS, it should be here by Christmas. :)
 
Wow Paul, You have quite a collection including one of the Sashimi knives with the Tungsten added steel. :eek: Impressive.

MBS-26. K04 first. Same as last production (10 or so years ago). black serrated, black plain, blue serrated. Handle material changed for greater longevity.

Wow! Thanks for the reply Sal.

I've been trying to talk the wife into upgrading the crap in the kitchen for years. Now I'll just 'Do It' and tell her it's part of my Spyderco collection :rolleyes:
 
K04 serrated is hard to beat in a kitchen whenh using cutting boards. We get asked regularly to bring back our kitchen knives.

I'd be interested in some Spyderco kitchen knives...

The biggest selling point for me would be rust resistance and sharpness.
 
How will the edge holding of the MBS-26 compare to the VG-10 on the Spyderco Yang? Is it better than or comparable to what I see from kitchen knives in 440C?
 
Happy Days are here again. The kitchen knives were the first spydercos I ever bought. They are one of my favorite gifts for new brides.

I have had spydercos kitchen knives in both steels. IIRC the VG-10 may be a little harder. VG-10 seems to hold its finish longer (the MBS-26 can pit if not taken care of).

I have K04 and k05 in SE since 2006. I sharpen them may be once every year. They are not used as much as my chef's knives, but there are tasks, where we absolutely love them. I bet that they hold much better than 440c and certainly can take much finer edge. The blade stock is about 1.25 mm and very thin grind. IMHO they cut better than Yang. I would love to have both of them in PE. And of course K02- 9.5" of beauty, is #1 on my kitchen wish list.
