A serrated SEBENZA...

[FliGuyRyan]

Yeah, that's right, you read correctly... this is what I want in life before I die. Now, how do I get one?

My first Sebenza is serrated. It's sitting in front of me on the desk. You can't have it.

Good luck in your search for one!

 

[DaveH]

Uh, you buy one from any of a number of places or CRK directly?

 

[mongomondo]

I didn't see serrations as an option at the CRK website. That looks pretty cool but I think it sorta ruins the "classy" look of the knife.

Serrated as in fully serrated or combo edge?

It says "partially serrated".

 

[Scott Dog]

True North Knives has a serrated one I believe. Yeah I checked they have a small and large right hand serrated Micarta inlays.www.truenorthknives.com

no exclusivity there

I wasn't asking what was available on the website, I was asking what the guy who started the thread was looking for, that's why I quoted him.

Sorry for my confusion. Carry on.

It's okay, everyone can read too fast

CRK makes the BEST serrations. They put the serrations on BOTH sides of the blade. I had a Sebbie once with serrations.

Could you expand on that a little bit? I would like to know why CRK serrations are the BEST.
Thanks

 

[DaveH]

I think they are ground on both sides.

 

[Esav Benyamin]

My Sebenza has his old style serrations. They are only ground on one side. But they are flat-topped serrations, so they sharpen up as if they weren't there, by whatever means you would sharpen a plain edge.

Like DaveH. said, it is because they are ground on both sides.

Cool I understand that. How does that make them better serrations? Is this a feature that only CRK can do? If you have a blade with 10 serrations 5 on each side will cut better than same blade with them all on one side?

Does having Serrations on more than one side complicate sharpening?

I am just trying to get my mind wrapped around the idea that these are somehow the best serrations.


Thanks

One of the complaints about serrations on one side only is that they work like an Emerson "v grind". The primary grind may be a V, but the secondary bevel (and serrations) are one side only, and the blade tends to push away from that side in a slow, careful cut.

Prior to the CRK system, serrations cut into both sides were prohibitively difficult to line up all the little cusps. CRK cuts them into each side alternately, however.

I guess that except if you have a spydie with the system specially made to sharpen these serrations, it will be a pita to sharpen anyway.
