C211TIP SpydieChef
Spyderco
The
SpydieChef is Spyderco's latest collaboration with Polish custom
knifemaker Marcin Slysz. Renowned for his elegantly simple designs and
flawless craftsmanship, Slysz began making fixed-blade knives in 2006
and quickly developed the skills to graduate to the high-tech folding
knives that are now his specialty. His highly recognizable style — as
seen in his previous collaborations, the Techno and Slysz Bowie —
typically features titanium handles, Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.)
mechanisms, and premium stainless steel blades, but he also enjoys
making slip-joint folders, a broad range of fixed blades, and a variety
of unique tactical tools.
Although its name suggests that it's a
pure kitchen tool, the Spydiechef is actually a highly evolved folding
knife intended for all-purpose use. It takes the user-friendly
ergonomics and deft balance of a world-class chef's knife and translates
them into an extremely versatile cutting tool that is compact and
convenient enough for everyday carry.
The Spydiechef's most
prominent feature its gracefully curved, full-flat-ground blade, which
is precision machined from LC200N steel. The "other" steel (besides H-1)
in Spyderco's elite Salt Series of knives, LC200N is a state-of-the-art
high nitrogen alloyed tool steel that is specifically formulated to
offer superior corrosion resistance and extreme toughness, even at high
levels of hardness.
In classic Slysz style, Spydiechef features
an open-backed handle built with two precision-machined solid titanium
scales. The reverse-side scale forms the foundation of a high-strength
Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.) mechanism that locks the blade securely
open when in use, yet allows easy one-handed lock release. The handle's
refined ergonomics and integral lower guard ensure a secure, comfortable
grip and naturally orient the blade's cutting edge for maximum control
during use. For additional security when working around water, the
handle also includes a generously sized lanyard hole that allows the
easy attachment of safety lines and lanyards. A reversible deep-pocket
wire clip provides convenient, ambidextrous, tip-up carry and ensures
that the knife is always poised for immediate access. Like the blade and
titanium scales, the pocket clip, screws, and all other component parts
of the Spydiechef are machined from highly corrosion-resistant alloys.
This ensures that it is practically impervious to the elements and
qualifies it as a worthy member of Spyderco’s Salt Series.
The
Spydiechef is an amazing fusion of advanced design, custom-quality
craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art corrosion-resistant materials like a
ceramic detent ball. If you're looking for serious cutting performance
in a tool that is immune to even the harshest environments, you'll find
it in the Spydiechef.
