^ Agreed. A sharp PE is easier to make precise cuts. If your only goal is to separate one item into two, SE all the way. I'll occasionally carry both, but NEVER CE, for me it's a compromise, but then again, I don't have just one knife anymore.

PE all the the way for an edc.. For the above reasons. Especially at work.. If it gets dull, grab a stone and get it sharp again quick..
SE has its place though. CE? I don't own any and have no plans to acquire one.. Like Scottie3000 said: 'It's a compromise.' If you need both, carry both :)

PE also, for very similar reasons.michaelm466 wrote:Plain edge, much easier to sharpen, and I've found SE cuts rope slightly better, but PE does everything else better.
There are a few things SE does better than PE, but I rarely do any of them and generally know in advance if I'm going to. I do keep a SE bladed Spyderco in my car as an emergency seat belt cutter.

I carry both PE and SE. If my larger EDC is PE, than my secondary will be SE and vice versa. The only SE Spydies I own---endura, assist, Manix 2, and Dragonfly 2. All of the others are PE. Nothing loOks as good as a shiny hair whittling PE in my opinion :D .

hey guys,
i actually carry all three versions.
my primary edc is always a pe, which changes every day or two.
my secondary edc, a se g10 harpy, is always clipped to my left front pocket.
and i carry a ce ladybug 1 on my keyring.
makes me feel that im prepared for about any cutting chore that may present itself.
later,
don

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even if it is wrong.:rolleyes:
Mainly carty PE but I do love to occasionally carry my SE Endura. I know that this will open a can of worms but I believe that a SE is better in a self defense situation. SE will tear through clothes/flesh better. Yeah, yeah never bring a knife to a gun fight.
Just my $0.02.

As far as SD goes..give me a PE any day. Not trying to dog you, Cscoop (or anyone else), but a PE has less chance of catching on the clothing you say SE tears through.. Just my opinion.. :)Cscoop wrote:Mainly carty PE but I do love to occasionally carry my SE Endura.

Wicked sharp PE is my preferred edge configuration. It is easier to sharpen and makes for cleaner work in the kitchen and on the grill. I really want to test drive a SE H1 blade soon to see if it really does hold its edge as long as its claimed to.
