Which Spyderco folder is the best slicer?

A friend's Calypso Jr. with Micarta handles was pretty sharp and especially had a great grip! I prepared a few kg's of veggies with it and I consider it a first-class knife.

To answer an earlier question. I did not buy anything. The Military was mentioned but I already have two of those and was looking for something better or at least a tad easier to sharpen than the 440V mili's. Also Ats34 is not an option. I just hate that stuff.

Hi Tom. As mentioned, what you are planning on slicing does make a difference. For things like cardboard and shrink wrap, my first choice would probably a serrated VG-10 delica. Slicing through something is often the result of the ratio of the width and thickness of the blade. The thinner wider flat ground kitchen knives are a good example of a geometry made for slicing.

If you don't like sharpening, then serrations do stay sharper considerably longer.

If you are using a Military now, what are you using to sharpen? I keep my mil at 30 degrees and cardboard is easy. I use a Triangle to maintain the edge.

The Chinese folder is also an excellent slicer.
