Tasman Salt Serrated Garden Use?
I like using a knife when doing a bit of gardening,clearing brushes,weeds,long grass,clipping small branches.
I have been using my D4 serrated for the specific task at hand,but my Salt1 serrated takes on other less abusive cuttingtasks a serrated blade asks for.
So i was thinking that,a Tasman serrated can do absolute wonders for garden maintenance,hence the hawkbill blade,for pullcuts on small roots,weeds and tall grass.
any opinions,if you have used a Tasman,for this specific task at hand.
I have no experience with hawkbill blades,but i think it could do wonders in the garden.

Sounds like a good idea...
...I've been thinking that I need to get a serrated Tasman Salt too; I remember years ago - I had a Case hawkbill - just recently had a flashback how handy it used to be when I was using my Harpy....
OOOOOH! ...So many Spydies / So many choices!!! :eek:
LOL!
I think I shall order a serrated Tasman Salt today...
another :spyder:
:D

Try It
Hawkbills work great . Try the Tasman SE you will not regret it . Leatherman Hybred and Tasman make a great yard combo . MG2
Highly recommended for yard work/gardening!
Hey MW, when I'm doing yard work, I always have my PE and SE Tasmans on me. They are the perfect tools for this kind of work, especially the SE. I use mine for everything you mentioned and then some, and they both perform admirably. I especially like them because, living in South Florida, I end up drenched in sweat - no worries with the H1.
I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

Sounds real nice.
No doubt,what my next Spydie will be.
My D4 serrated has been doing a great job,at use in the garden,sofar.
its so nice how the Spyderedge rips thru small branches and roots,grass etc.
I tend to do alot of pullcuts when i do the abovementioned,therefor a hawkbill blade,im thinking.
yes,i work up a sweat,down here in sunny South Africa,therefor a Tasman serrated-H1,for gardening etc.
this is what i realy love about the Salt knives,you can carry a knife and excercise,do watersports,do intensive work where you sweat alot,and the knife stays maintenance free.
They are so lite,you wont even feel a Salt,when clipped to your shorts,when going for a run.....favorite running watch,i pod shuffle,shades and a Salt Spydie, to accompany you on a run-sounds like the perfect running gear...mmm.

I've had good luck with the Reverse S-Curved Meerkat SE and Atlantic Salt SE in the dirty outdoors, so I'd imagine the Tasman Salt SE would be great, too (just started EDC'ing it, but haven't done any gardening lately - Winter :mad: ). My Atlantic Salt SE did a lot of digging/prying in rocky and muddy soil and is still going strong.

Me too Manixworld... and with the Rc being over 60 at the edge, it's like my holygrail of steels.... only thing i might want changed is to make the finish less "satiny" / polished so that it hides scratches better (maybe beadblasted?) :)MANIXWORLD wrote:Sounds real nice.

Beadblasted sounds perfect,i can already see H1 taking this finish on.jaislandboy wrote:Me too Manixworld... and with the Rc being over 60 at the edge, it's like my holygrail of steels.... only thing i might want changed is to make the finish less "satiny" / polished so that it hides scratches better (maybe beadblasted?) :)
I love the deeper serrations on my Salt1,compared to my serrated D4.
