Mr Blonde's Bunch
My wife doesn't like paring knife also. I bought her Shun and she is quite happy with it. I do not use paring knife much either. I always have something in my pocket, which I like more :) . Out of my Spyderco kitchen knives, Yang is most used. But I do not have Homemaker (I remember that you have one) or Sushimi. They would be great on kitchen. My wife does more and much better cooking than I am, but I started to spend much more time on kitchen after I got few decent kitchen knives.

New pics of old fixed blades
While doing some site maintenance, I came across several pics of my old fixed blades that simply weren't up to snuff. So I took some new ones.
That's a pretty nice collection of Dodo's!
I went to change the clip on my Carbon Fiber Dodo to a low rider clip, and noticed that the CF Dodo doesn't use an entirely normal clip. The slots in the scale are thinner and the clip is ground a little thinner to fit into the slots. I had to rub the low rider clip on a sharpening stone to get it to fit.
They say they changed some angles on the lock for the new ones. On mine it seems like the angles don't work perfectly with the Ceramic Ball. The ball is pulled away from the back spacer as it rolls over the detent corner and has a slight clicking sound when it lands back on the back spacer.

Spyderco Ed Schempp Balance & Delica
Some Ed Schempp customized goodness to start off the new year....
Since I was photographing the Balance, I decided my old(er) customized Delica needed some new photos too.

nice little write up as well. The part where you say the chaparral 3 might become a more sought after knife in the future. Do you think spyderco would discontinue the chaparral 3 for lack of sales when it is in a series?
