Do you think there's a performance trade off when you round off the tips and make the scallops shallower?
My HBDFLY is very reprofiled, rounded teeth and shallow scallops. It has the kind of EDC cutting ability that I like, no snags, smooth cuts.
My Tasman that I've been carrying is closer to the factory edge. Pointy teeth, deep scallops. I've been working on it with the sharpmaker trying to get it more like my HBDfly. It's not there yet but I'm getting closer.
In using it to break down some costco boxes the other day a thought occurred to me. One of the boxes in particular had reinforced corners quadruple thick cardboard. So thick and glued that something like Police4 wouldn't have sliced through it without binding up. But I had the pointy tooth Tasman, and I was easily able to 'saw' through it.
I started to wonder, if I contine to round off the teeth, and make the scallops shallower, am I going to lose some of that awsome sawing power?
