Tasman Salt Serrated Garden Use?

[MANIXWORLD]

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.

...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

I haven't used my SE Tasman (my constant companion :D ) for garden work yet, but it has handled everything else that I've thrown at it with no problems whatsoever.

I love that knife! :D

Hawkbills work great . Try the Tasman SE you will not regret it . Leatherman Hybred and Tasman make a great yard combo . MG2

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.

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?) :)

Oh yeah, MW, all my above comments are disclaimed by the fact that your knife WILL get scratched up if you use it for this kind of work. I kinda like that battle-scarred look though. :cool:

Beadblasted sounds perfect,i can already see H1 taking this finish on.
I love the deeper serrations on my Salt1,compared to my serrated D4.

I have used my Tasman SE & PE for lots of tough jobs, and they are get through each task well. Minor scuffs on the blades are "character" in my view...
Garden chores are what hawkbills (aka pruners) live for.

That's what I use mine for. It does get really scratched up but who cares, it's a gardening knife. Just sails through things like ivy though.
