Without a doubt, the SE Cricket will be one of the best cutting and well designed knives you will ever buy.

Its already a wicked enough cutter in plain edge. Besides its a lot easier to sharpen.

I prefer SE on the Cricket. I do not feel that PE in that model is easier to sharpen then SE, just my .02

I use a SS Cricket in SE and a FRN Cricket in PE. I prefer the SE, makes the little knife a big one!
They are both a bit tricky to sharp, but i see no difference in difficulty.

PE or SE that is the question! Why not both? Here's a thought. Why not take the Wings Slipit concept and apply it to the Cricket. Two blades, PE and SE. G-10 or perhaps carbon fiber scales. What do you think? Personally, I'm all for it.

SS SE is the only way to fly with the cricket ;)

Why do people worry more if you argue with your voices than if you just talk with them? What about if you lose those arguements?
Slowly going crazy at work... they found a way to make the voices work too.

SE for me as well. It makes a little knife a lot bigger. You will be amazed how much you use it since it can go everywhere so easily and is sheeple friendly.
