PE, CE or SE?

[Outlaw]

I get most of my :spyder: " 's with the combo edge. Ya never know what you'll run into out there & I feel somewhat more prepared with this blade style.

On the other hand.... I really love my PE Gray Goddard! :D

[Spidernoir]

Plainedge most of the time. Comboedge sometimes.

[Dr. Snubnose]

I carry all three...so I vote for all three...For MBC it's a plain edge...for heavy duty cutting it's the SE and for daily chores it's the CE...I don't see how anyone could just carry one type of blade for everything...So I vote Yes...It that a category? :rolleyes: Doc

[ghostrider]

I usually carry one of each.

[clovisc]

if it were ANY other company's serrated edge, i'd vote plain... but the spyderedge is simply too incredible. with the sharpmaker, i've found it easier to maintain than a plain edge.... and serrated H1 steel is an absolute dream.

Plain edge works best for the "gentleman's tasks" that I mostly need a knife for. OTOH my one rescue knife is a SE G10 Harpy as it should be.

I'm a fan on the plain edge. I like the ease of sharpening and I can either leave the edge alone after the medium stone ot I can go to the fine stone and then strop if i want a polished edge.

I know that PE's are much easier to maintain and the CE's seem to be more versatile. But my very EDC is a SE Delica (many thanks Allen) :D

I would like to see more of a 60/40, sort of like the Native. I like SE for a lot of things but need the PE for fine work. I do carry both a CE Delica that sees much more use the the PE C-III. I keep saying I'll get the clips to fix my FRN SE Enduras, and when I do, I'll carry the Delica less. I'd really like to see a 60/40 or even an 80/20 CE Endura with the larger portion of the blade SE. This would be my perfect knife.

i voted CE because even though i love SE, i havent been able to put my native II ss down in a year. The CE with vg10 is such an effective combo that i havent had need to use anything else.

My preference is the plain edge as I like to sharpen my knives and this is the easiest for me to sharpen quickly. :)

Is it me or are PE knives rarer? Like civilan and merlin

[spydutch]

When I bought my first knives it had to be PE. I found SE knives looking like saws and ugly. Until I bought my first CE knive(a little Gerber Gator) and cut with it. What a eye opening, so easy as the knife went to various materials(thick canvas straps, rope, leather) From that time on I want almost only fully serrated knives. This morning I had to choose between a Manix and a Paramilie. I chose the Para because the Manix is only available in PE and CE (I hope I made a good choice though)

[gordonk]

I prefer PE for most things, but find that combo edges do have their place. I have a Gerber EZ-out in CE that is used constantly in yardwork. Most of the things that I do, though, a PE is more than adequate. I may acquire one of the the Spydie SE blades, though, to "try" :D

I prefer plain edge, but I find myself using my full serrated edge Endura the most. Weird. :) And it is only G2 steel, not that fancy VG-10 stuff, so you know it can't cut anything except cardboard. :) :)
