2nd BayouShooter Spyderco Sprint Run

What's up with all the combo edge hate? I prefer it for a working knife. Dress knives are better plain edge, but a knife with plastic handles isn't for dress anyway

 

[rasputin]

Plain edges are much easier to sharpen, and take a keen edge and I find they are less prone to edge chipping.

Serrated blades are not precision cutting tools and are difficult to sharpen without the proper tools.

That being said, I'm all for a full serrated blade or a non-serrated blade. I don't own a single combination edge blade, because they don't do what I need them to do.

In my findings, most people that like serrations have never had a properly sharpened knife before.

Owwwwch!

Owwwwch!

It's usually true. Serrations are designed for ripping and tearing. Serrations act like saw teeth and are very rough when cutting through objects.

Is someone actually looking into this or is it just some sort of interest thread for fun?

interest thread...

I like the spyderco serrations on a working or everyday knife.

Interest thread for now, and there isn't enough interest at the moment.

I'm in.

 

[AustinBR]

That's a lot!


Perhaps Austin could send a mass email to all of the registered members in his data base telling everyone the proposed plan. You may get a good many that ordinarily wouldn't see this thread, and possibly re-generate some traffic here. Heaven knows I could use the added members for more comedy material. Some of the best zingers I've ever read came from old members here who don't log in anymore.

Or were banished into internet hell!

I can do that after we settle on what blade we want. I'd personally be in for a PM 2 with a black blade and whatever color plastic. What's the point of the wave feature anyway on the other knife? Is it worth my Google time, or should someone explain?

 

[AustinBR]

I set up a global forum notice for now. That should get a few more hits on this thread from those using an internet browser and not the mobile app.

I am really a fan of the PM 2 and have been thinking about getting one for awhile. This would be a good excuse.

 

[tigerguru]

I'm in!

 

[paddle007]

I'm in.

 

[jussaddwata]

I'm in, I like the pm2. I have a spyderco my son bought for me, it has the combination blade. Straight edge would be nice to have.

 

[beauxdog]

Like the idea, want info on knife when we get it.

[SicilianSecrets]

PM2 sounds good.

 

[7beast]

I'm definitely in for at least one. Color doesn't matter but I hoping for a combo blade with the Emerson wave feature.

 

[323MAR]

PM2 sounds good!

 

[LACamper]

I would like a 3 - 3 1/2" blade, partial serration. Color isn't that important (Black w/ gold writing? ) What about adding a pelican or fleur de lis?

 

[mineralman55]

A Paramilitary 2 with the black, diamond coat blade would be great. I'd be in on that.
