Spyderco Chisel Grind Folder ?

[Lycosa]

Yes, true. ^ And it took me too long to figure this out!

Sure they have. The SE knives are all chisel edge.

They may be chisel edge, but they were all V grind blades way back when this thread started. I realize that you probably don't understand the difference, but it is there.

Are you getting enough sleep these days? Or forget to take your meds? I did say chisel edge., not grind.

I see that you're the kind of person that holds a grudge for a long time. We had that argument over 5 years ago. We've never had an exchange since then. I can see that you're still mad at that. LOL.

I like the idea a lot! A Spyderco that will never extract the cash from my wallet! It can sit there on the shelf alongside the Emersons and never tempt me one iota.

Same here.
My Emersons get a regrind right out of the box though so I've lost enough on resale to learn my lesson.

I am pretty sure that last inch of blade on my Assist is a chisel edge. Does that count?

Hey, a chisel grind for basic cutting and jinto, war, just makes sense.
Why get an Emerson knife and deEmerson it? Just asking.

I appreciate the styling on the Persian for one example. But for general use the grind is cumbersome.
Unless I'm cutting circular patterns in cardboard, then it's perfect.

I like the company and gave them my business, no complaints there, I'm happy with my purchases. :thumbup:

 

[Lycosa]

Good!^
Knife buyers would benefit if EKI had info, like on the box, why they build knives the way they do.

I wouldn't mind a spyderco with a chisel grind. Emerson's are very poor substitute since they put left hand grinds on right hand knives in addition to their other issues.

I guess your idea of “general utility” differs from mine. The level of precision I require for daily free-hand cutting / edging (sometime scraping) tasks, often draw or push cuts, is best executed with a right-hand biased chisel ground blade with a primary edge of no less than 3”. I’ve used fixed blades of that pattern for years with satisfaction, but I’d like to have a quality folder.

When I cut vegetables like potatoes and onions I find myself canting the knife a little so the one side goes straight down. Essentially making the knife a chisel grind. I did this subconsciously. I just noticed it one day. I think Japanese chefs are on to something.

Thanks, Havoc.
I do believe Ernest said his knives are not meant for kitchen work.
One wants a V ground knife in the kitchen.
