Serrated, Partial serrated or plain ?
Serrated, Partial serrated or plain ?
To : ALL
Greetings forumites ! I just wanted to
conduct a survey of which type of edge
you use the most and why ; No prizes
or anything, just plain old F.Y.I..
I myself prefer the serrated edge on
my C29BK "Cricket" for overall cutting
power. How about the rest of you ?

Personally I go with the plain edge. For me it is the most versitile.
I think serrations have their place, that's why I sometimes carry one. But I always carry a plain edge.
As for patial serrations, I would perfer to carry two knives (one of each). For me a partially serrated edges does not have enough of either type to be as effective.

My top 2 spydie choices:
c49 Wegner jr 40/60
c29 Cricket serrated/c28 Dragonfly plain
I find the c49 offers about the right amount of both, while the 28/29 gives plenty to spare.
I prefer to carry a plain for most jobs, but any heavywork needs serrations. have you even tried to cut cheese with a spydie serated knife?
We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...

I like knives in all edge configurations, it all depends what I want it for, and sometimes even the model itself. I tend to like the Endura models fully serrated more than plain, and the Delica in both plain and full serrated. I like the Wegner and the Military and Calypso Jr. to be plain, and the SS Police model in both plain and fully serrated versions.

I find that after some experience, the plain edge design is a far better all-around choice for me. A serrated knife will work well enough most of the time, but is often a compromise when aggressive cutting is not required.
I have now purchased more serrated knives than I find I really needed, and sometimes wish that some had instead been plain edge selections.
Anyway, if I am to select a serrated blade it will be a larger knife as I find the teeth most useful on a longer blade, for effective "sawing" technique.
Obviously, they both have their place.
