SpydercoLightweight Kitchen Utility Knife with MBS-26 Stainless Steel Blade and Polypropylene Plastic Handle

This is our SECOND purchase of this same model. It's a great little kitchen knife that is so sharp it's scary! We immediately wash the knife and put it away after use out of an excess of caution--it's not a knife you would want to grab haphazardly out of a drain board or the dishwasher.ALSO, a note of caution on using it to cut dense vegetables, like butternut or acorn squash. Kitchen knives don't typically have a full tang that goes all the way to the end of the handle. After over TWO DECADES of use, the tang began to break through the handle because we had been putting downwards pressure on the blade to cut through dense produce. That's not the fault of the knife, but ours for using it in a manner for which it was not intended.

nice kitchen tool, wifes fav

My brother started buying me Spyderco knives about 10 years ago. He adds one every couple years to my collection. This particular one that I ordered was for my chef at work, as a thank you gift for her hard work. Be extra careful using these..they are sharp!! Bravo spyderco ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Spyderco kitchen knives! This knife fits my hand perfectly. It cuts like a dream. I have used their knives for 30 years. I bought my first one at the Del Mar Fair in the Kitchen Expo building.

Hi, am a widower so I am doing all the cooking which I really enjoy, also I am a big fan of the Spyderco brand ( am a edged weapon collector and have several Spyderco blades) and one day I saw these kitchen/cooking blades so I decided to try them, I have a few now and they are just GREAT! I use them constantly, they stay sharp, are easy to manipulate, am so glad to have them! BUT, I do wash my dishes by hand and 99% of the time I dry them and put them away, well Sunday night one of my favorite program was on so I let my dishes dry on a mat in the kitchen, I got a bit of CRS and forgot about it and went to bed, next morning I checked and put away all those dishes ( not many since it is only me and my doggie!), I noticed a brown spot on one of the knives, right where the blade meets the rubber handle! I thought I didn't clean it properly but it wasn't dirt! It was RUST! All across the bottom on both sides, one spot actually dug in the Steel! Now the knife had been left for approximately 9 hours! The rest of the blade was perfect, Not a spot of rust, just by the handle! When I grabbed the other knife, you can guess what I saw! That's right! The exact same thing,at the same area! So to make a long story short, make sure that when you clean your awesome blades that you dry them real well before you do something else! I can't see what's under the rubber handle but I bet it's not pretty! That's why the 4 stars instead of 5! BTW I also have Cold Steel blades and in a couple of years using that brand have never seen rust! I still prefer the Spyderco blades, just wished I had known!

I myself am a "Blade Freak" I own over 100 top High Quality knives (Puma, Buck, Ka-Bar, Spyderco, Fox of Italy, just to name drop a few) I also buy 0-1 oil hardened tool steel for "my own 1 of a kind" that I make myself, I was feeling a bit guilty about spending $4-500 on knives for my collection, my 78 year young mother does a lot to help me keep my crippled up self from falling into depression (I was diagnosed with extreme, sever RA in 2011)- I know that mom does what she does , because that's what parents do,( I have 5 children, 10 grandchildren myself) I also know the Very High Quality that Spyderco puts into their blades, the 1 million dollar research and development facility they have in Colorado, I ordered my mom the paring knife that Amazon has for a very good price- When I gave the fine quality kitchen knife to mom she said "I don't go hunting or hike much to need such a nice knife as a Spyderco" I told her to remove it from the box, she smiled like I haven't seen her do for a while, she LOVES it!! I will be buying her more Spyderco kitchen blades, Mom has anything she could need, she has me, the son who worried her for many (40+) years at home on the family ranch and who is living a "clean" life today, I thank Spyderco and Amazon for offering the kitchen line of TOP QUALITY blades, so those of us who live 70+ miles from town, have the ability to shop for items we couldn't find any place else- Thanks for helping me put a smile on a mothers face

Wanted the 9” but they don’t make that size anymore. I’m left handed and seem to cut ok. I like the light weight of the knife.

I use this all the time as my primary kitchen utility knife. I know it is sharp because I stupidly gave myself a horrendous cut with it. I like it a lot.The steel is great, but it isn't stainless. I have to dry it immediately after washing to prevent rust from forming, something I haven't needed to do with other knives.But dang, has the price on these skyrocketed. Maybe wait for a sale or some type of deal.

Excellent knife. Bought to replace one that I lost and I love it.

Very nice & wicked sharp right out the box! This will get a lot of use, if you need a good serrated knife you can't go wrong with Spyderco ! I would defenitly recommend

Im a pretty big fan of spyderco knives. Im not really impressed with this paring knife. Its on the large side for a paring knife although it has a fine edge and point which can allow you to do some fine work. Not a huge fan of the handle as there are grooves and specifically has been made for right handed people. I prefer the standard paring knife grips on the victorinox which allow you to hold the knife however you want without it being uncomfortable. That being said its not a terrible option but for the price it is currently being sold for you could buy 2 victorinox which work fine. I would really be really interested in a slimmed down model with vg10 steel. Love the edge that steel takes in the kitchen.

I bought this as a gift for my fiancee. Shes been using a cheap steak knife as her go to blade in the kitchen, so I got her this made in Japan red handled food saw. I liked it so much i got myself a flat grind regular blade version. The MBS-26 steel is holding up great, seems like its doing better than my vg10 steel Shun!! Being slightly taller/wider than your average paring utensil, its a nice in-between size for quick meal prep tasks. I cant tell if its full tang but its hard to go wrong with any knife made in Seki City. Its also a very good price for what your getting. High bang for buck ratio on the transaction.

Great knife I have more expensive knives but this one is light, easy to clean, and cuts like a dream. I have purchased many of these knives to give as presents and everyone loves them. A sharp knife can be life changing in the kitchen!
