I don't think it would be as much to do with the ability or time as being set up to mold the steel. There are so many variables that you can imagine that there are some that have to be rejected. Molten steel like anything else (even more so) is susceptible to defect (air pockets, imperfections, etc.).

Thank you everyone for your responses. I believe I have a decent understanding now. It's pretty much a do a little of everything and should last for years within the constraints of it's abilities. I think I will try it as a light duty camp knife.

So, it sounds like it can do a little bit of everything and baton, but wisely (not thick or hard knotted wood).

So, Stuart, what exactly did you design the serrata to be? A general knife for camping bushcraft, outdoors, or just a general knife that can do a little of common tasks?

Sounds like a mistake from manufacturing helped put it in a more useable state.

Great, ty. That is helpful. How much did you end up thinning it out (and was it the full width of the blade or just partially)?

Great! So, what kind of aimless whittling have you done, how does it cut?

Hi, I was wondering for anyone who has actually used (not just own or owned) a Serrata what your experience is like (such as camping, using it on wood, etc.)?

I may have two or three (new, old stock, NIB), black FRN handles. Email me if you are interested, and I'll look for you.


Sincerely
John
