The title says it all, I am wondering about getting a vagbond as a lunchbox knife. I use a cheap folder now but would rather have a fixed blade as my lunchbox knife so I can clean it better. I am also considering opinals. I didn't give the vagabond a thought until I just happened to come across it while browsing at knivesplus. I have a swamp rat howler and bandicoot but the blades are so thick and they are a little big for a lunchbox knife.

Any opinions?
 
My two cents:

I've used various folders as my lunchbox knives through the years:
Spyderco Delica, CS Voyager, Spyderco Salt I and more...

Even if you get the Vagabond, it still has that folding guard and so you still would have something to clean before stowing it away for the next day.

I'd recommend getting any sheeple friendly folder that Spyderco produces which has a blade big enough for your lunchtime use and enjoy!
(Even a Salt I would probably work and you'd NEVER have to worry about corrosion even if you put it away 'wet'...) :)

Cheers,
Mike
 
Welp, too late, I ordered one already, they are only 25 bucks at knivesplus and I couldn't resist. I'll give my review on lunchbox usage later!

I used to use my delica but am afraid of it getting lost and I like that one too much. I got an edura a while back for lunchbox duty, a spydie edge! It REALLY would not go over good at work! Another thing is the vagabond looks like a harmless little kitchen knife and I don't want to scare the sheeple any more than I already do. The other day we were having a little going away ta-do for an employee who is leaving and she couldn't get the string untied on her present. She said "who has a knife, where is a man when you need one" and then saw me standing there and the light went off (I'm not a man) and I whipped out my jester on my keys!!! A few comments were made (in admiration obvously) about all the crap I carry around. I also clandestantly use a dodo many times a day at work. Although it is a hospital and am surrounded by scalpels and other deadly items we are not supposed to have "large knives", whatever that means. We can't have guns either, whatever. One of my other coworkers has a piece of fruit each night at lunch, it's so funny to watch her go at it with a butter knife!!!

I was going to use the "lunch knife" rationalization to get the calypso jr but they seem to all be sold and the ebay price is too high. The vagabond seems like a nice consulation prize though!! I won't get too upset if gets messed up and I don't have anything like it so there's no dupage.
 
Oh, I forgot to mention, this is just a temporary job until I am "discovered" by a clandestine agency and can perform the duties I was meant to perform, undercover spy work. I wish they would hurry up, a lot of discoveries are going undiscovered because of their dilly-dallying!!!
