Spyderco Spydiechef
Because:
My first titanium knife
My first frame lock knife
My first Spyderco that wasn’t designed by Sal Glesser (Don’t be angry, Sal. I’m not steppin’ out on you. Honest.)
Marcin Slysz, the famous Polish designer whose name no one can pronounce
My first Spyderco out of the Taichung factory
My first LC200N
This guy says it’s one of his three favorite knives, and this guy says it’s his favorite of the Slysz designed Spydercos. [Edit: I got this wrong. Nick Shabazz like the Slysz Bowie best.]
I had a $15 store credit from REC. Not sure how that happened, but this will be our little secret.
Impressions:
Very impressive build quality
Looks bigger on the Internet. In reality, it’s a handy sized knife.
The handle design places your grip in just the right position. My thumb always winds up over the Spydie hole, which feels perfect.
It came with a grey pocket clip instead of the black in the pictures. The grey is much better.
The full flat grind on this knife is not kidding around. Blade thickness is robust.
I know that a factory edge is nothing to hang your hat on, and that we all have to sharpen our own knives, but for those who care, the out-of-the-box edge on this knife is sizzling sharp through copy paper.
One quibble: All the other Spyderco Slysz knives have their writing on the blade in a position just above the scales. This looks really cool. The Spydiechef, however, has its writing in a conventional spot on the blade. Kind of a bummer for me.
The Spydiechef is a winner. Now, I have to think long and hard about getting a second one. The landlord can wait another month for the rent, right?
