(Yet) another Taichung Masterpiece
I actually bucked the trend and bought this about 8 months before the similar Chef. I also feel this is well worth the money Spyderco charge for this thing that is beautifully designed, amazingly built and so skillfully executed. The blade is the beautifully finished mirror stonewash, like the techno 2, SB, Swayback etc and is razor sharp, pretty thin behind the edge and as such cuts almost as well as the chef. Action is butter smooth, particularly after a quick strip down with high fidget factor as you can thumb and spydie flick as well as slow roll out. The action is glassy, CRK smooth, like my swayback. Eegos excellent and I appreciate the slightly thicker, and contoured scales, over the chef even for my medium/ large hands. Yes, the clip is a bit pants, but as I'm in the UK I cannot legally carry so no big deal - I bent it slightly so no hot spots. Another spyderco that is not going anywhere. Definitely recommended.
