Better the cistern than under the rim of the bowl. =)

I favor my 741 when it comes to food prep.

I would imagine 740 would do fine.

For ease of cleaning, a fixed knife would be best, though as you go up in size you quickly lose the ability to easily pocket the knife.

Perhaps it would be easier to give specific recommendations if we knew more about your situation. Is this for camping? Around the house? Taking to a cafeteria so you have something better than butter knives for cutting through their meats?

If I was in a pinch, I'd just use what I had on me, which is usually a Griptilian of some flavor. I lube with mineral oil so I don't have noxious chemicals on the blade that may make me sick.


I'm still here! I just replaced my old EDC (some other brand) with a 710. For small jobs it's sometimes easier to reach into my pocket and use my EDC for cutting food. I have a nice Chef's knife I use for bigger jobs when I'm preparing for the whole family. I agree rinsing in the sink can remove lube if not careful. I use mineral oil as well.

Anyhow, the 710 is working out fine for these tasks. The handle/grip is extremely comfortable in the hand. The reach of the blade is nice too. Probably could use a bit more width to the blade overall for chopping. I almost bought the 740 a few years ago. Bought my former EDC instead. Thanks for the replies.

To be honest I'd rather have a thorough cleaning, which would certainly get rid of the lube. You can always wipe it down with oil afterwards if the steel calls for it (e.g. uncoated D2). Especially if you regularly clean and dry your knife, the more stain resistant steels don't need as much oil.

On a barely related note, is ATS-34 considered more stain resistant (e.g. 154CM) or less (e.g. D2)? That's the first steel the 710 was produced in and I'm not very familiar with its properties.
