Thanks for taking the time to explain in detail again, now I get it!!Evil D wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 7:00 pmA serration bevel is based on 1) angle and 2) how deep it's carved into the blade since it's chisel ground. You would only want to go so deep or the edge would end up off center of the blade. If you look at a full SE blade the chisel grind is slightly off center to compensate for this. I think part of the confusion here is that I was referring to a blade that's ground very thin at/behind the edge and not necessarily thin blade stock overall. If we're just talking about thinner blade stock then the rest of the blade grind leading to the edge and serrations can be as thick as or thin as you like, but thinner will reduce how wide you're able to make the serrations.Wartstein wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 4:02 pm
To be honest: I do not fully understand why serrations have to be shallower in height if the blade is very thin.
In PE I get that an edge bevel of lets say 20 degree is shorter in height on a thinner blade than on thicker (or, better put maybe: The bevel is the shorter in height, the more acute the primary grind is) - but serrations? Couldn´t you cut those as high as you´d like?
I´ll think about it and illustrate it to myself as soon as my Delica CE is showing up...
Sure, kind of, but blade stock is 3mm (as far es I remember).
OP here, thanks for your input! Since I am still more of a newb here: Could you please tell me, which choice(s) you would have liked to see, so I can improve, should I do another poll in the future?
That´s a good point.
My thoughts and wish also ... will it ever happen?The Deacon wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:13 pmWhile I love the Chaparral, I'm not sure how well its handle would scale up. To be honest, my "ideal" Spyderco would be a Stretch (preferably the size of a 1st Gen Stretch 1) with a 2mm thick (or thinner) VG-10 blade...

Or is it the choice you already mentioned "probably not interested but would have to see the final product to decide"?
Best regards, GM
Thanks for your reply and the explanation! I just wanted to improve generally in framing choices for possible further polls (not do a poll on the same subject anyway), so you helped me with this goal! Even more so, since it is harder for me to formulate what I have in mind in the english language than in my native tongue.cycleguy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 11:49 pmHi again,Wartstein wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 10:40 amOP here, thanks for your input!

No further poll necessary. Sounds like there are plenty on board with what you have in mind. For me it would be something along the lines of: No, not really interested in a longer version Chap and keeping thin blade stock... just probably not a folder I would be interested in.
Can't be: No, cause I am fundamentally not interested in longer blades... cause I do like longer blades.
Can't be: No, I like longer blades but never that thin... cause I like the long and thin blades I have which are mostly kitchen cutlery
Can't be: No, I don´t think such a thin blade would be robust enough in a longer knife... cause I would only be using it for a slicer
My most liked and used knife is a Delica 4 which probably isn't much different than the Chap version you describe.

FWIW your poll has much better response than the poll I recently ran.
Thanks for your input! Not always better, correct, but maybe an interesting option in some applications? Lateral forced do not ALWAYS happen...
