Well, I meant just in general with cost because someone mentioned that making a die to cut serrations might add to the cost.
I would even pay more for serrations than specific steels up to a point. I'm getting to a point where I have practically no interest in PE models whatsoever unless it's a steel I want to play with and I can only get it in PE.
Same here!
I mean, in a way serrations make for a "different or even better steel", right?
VG10 for example, while I also like it in PE, for me gets a clearly better steel in SE - and actually DOES have better edge retention (like imo all SE blades over their otherwise similar PE siblings)
And actually one gets a longer cutting edge with SE too...
Thank you!! Because VG-10 is one of the very few blade steels that I've found over the years that excels in PE & SE both. I owned probably 3 to 4 plain edged VG-10 blades before I landed my first one in full SE and I was really pleasantly surprised. Because at that time in Spyder-History I had gotten about 3 Spyderco full SE models in AUS-8 which I still think it is a great
blade steel for full SE models. The original, full SE, AUS-8 Catcherman is one model that I still use on a weekly basis. Up till recently I still had an old AUS-8 RESCUE model which I traded to a friend>> because I mostly use my Stainless Handled RESCUE with ATS-55 blade steel in full SE and it's a powerhouse of a performer.
But again VG-10 is really a decent performing blade steel in PE & SE both.
And if Spyderco wants to use up some old, left over bar stock of AUS-8, 440V, ATS-55 for any fully serrated Sprint Run they have my vote.
