This is why I propose they instead start adding one single large serration at the heel of the blade. This will achieve the same results as a sharpening notch for those who want it, but also prevent things from snagging since it's still an edge. No edge length is lost (technically you gain a small amount) and you have a nice notch for cutting cord.
Like on a Victorinox Electrician I guess? I’ve thought of trying that before too. Anyone here have an Electrician that cares to add a comment?
I'm not familiar with that knife, I've seen it done on some fixed blades so I can't claim it was my idea or anything. It really seems like a no brainier, I really don't understand why a standard choil would ever be preferable over a serration that can still slice.
I personally have never seen it done on any knife and wonder why, since that approach is a rather ingenious one, IF one wants a sharpening choil anyway!
Can't be patented or something, I mean how could several serrations in a row NOT be patented but a single one is...
I could even see "One-serration-instead-of-a-notch" to be kind of a trademark for a brand.
Still, I prefer no notch and no single-serration, just edge all the way...
