Best slicer made by Spyderco?
Best slicer made by Spyderco?
I've been looking at small Spydercos for awhile now, and heres what I'm looking for. I want the thinnest blade possible made by spyderco regardless of blade length. I was using a slipjoint earlier and man that small little blade sliced like a dream. So what spyderco knife would you guys say has the thinnest blade and is the best slicer that is currently in production. The smallest spyderco i have is a delica and it slices great, but i think theres something out there better.

Allen,
You may want to look at the Persian 2: The FFG 75mm blade is incredibly thin, yet sturdy. The blade steel is in VG-10. The ergos on this knife are amazing. :) You're probaby looking at spending between $112 to $135 for this model. Hope this helps.

Among the production Spydercos I own, the Chaparral wins. Hard to beat a 2mm thick FFG blade that's ground thin behind the edge. Next in line would be the Caly/Calypso family, with the exception of the SS Calypso Jr.

Check out Jdavis882 on YouTube. I've been very impressed with this guy's knife reviews.
This review is "Top Five Cutting Performance Production Knives under $150."
Right to your question.

Thanks to all of you guys i was using a case knife earlier and just wondering what Spyderco might slice like that little stockman. I've heard the calys were great, I own a vg-10 stretch and agree its a great slicer. I'm gonna take a look at the Chap Persian and Chokwe I'll post when I make my mind up which i buy first. Something tells me I'm going to ending up owning all of these knives, so feel free to keep the suggestions coming.

I guess it depends on what you are slicing, but I wouldn't rule out the Mule. They are relatively thin for a fixed blade. They make short work of veggies in the kitchen. The Street Beat is also a sharp little slicer. Can you tell I am a fixed blade guy? If a folder is a must, I will also cast my vote for the chaparral.
I'd vote Chokwe too...It's super thin and because of the aggressive tip has a lot less steel that would drag onto whatever it might be that you'd be cutting.
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

I've got alot of spydies, and earlier today I used a buddies case stockman and man it sliced so well, So i figure if case can do it well, then Spyderco must have something great. just looking for a new addition for edc thats a super slicer.

The Catcherman is my all purpose slicer
I'm probably going to have some of you laughing at me but my choice for "best slicer" out of all of the Spyderco line up is the Catcherman.
I've used all 3 of my Catchermans for all kinds of food prep and various other chores with great satisfaction.
When you use the term "slicer" I assume you are referring to a knife that slices efficiently and mainly in the food prep arena.
I also like the manueverability of the Catcherman. It's so versatile with just about any cutting chore I encounter

Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!

I think you may be looking for answers to two different questions:JD Spydo wrote:I'm probably going to have some of you laughing at me but my choice for "best slicer" out of all of the Spyderco line up is the Catcherman.
1. Which is the thinnest Spydie?
and
2. Which Spydie is the best slicer?
The answer to the first is undoubtedly JD's pick, the Catcherman. I don't have a micrometer, but that blade has gotta be somewhere south of 2mm...
The answer to the second question is somewhat of a subjective matter. For my money, I think the Caly Jr. in FRN is the best slicer that Spyderco has ever released.
