I am new to this forum and this is my first posting. Can anyone tell me why the Buck 889 SBMF is not offered w/ Part. Serrated. blade. I own a Buck 882 tarani police knife and I love the part. Serr. blade. If anyone from Buck has any info. feel free to chime in. Thanks.
 
C'mon guys, 36 views and nobody has an answer for me?? I know you guys working for "Buck" are in the know. I thought the 889 SBMF was made as a police/tactical "hard use" knife? Don't all tactical knives have part. serr. blades? Isn't this why the 882 "Police" knife has a part. serr. blade??

Buddah,
Those of us that are simply knife nuts that like Buck knives can speculate but you really need an answer from someone at Buck. Perhaps if you changed the subject line to attract the attention of one of the Buck moderators you'll have better success.
Oh yeah....welcome to the forum! :D

Yes, the way the subject line is right now, it looks like you want to sell the knife.

well i am no expert so it is MHO=
a normal edge under a scaning electron image appears to be serr .. is also why damascuss (wooze steel) worked as an sharper edge because fo the carbides and in sharping produced a micro serr on the edge .
serr edges cut and larger serr can cut things that normaly dont cut as well with non serr edges... so woven line dont cut well with a normal edge as neather does safty webbing note divers and servial knives all have a serr part,
this is why police and emt knives and diver / servial knives all have the serr...
cheep kitchen knives also use this for cutting and it is a way to produce a seemingly sharper edge for use in meet and string contain vegees like cellery and carrots...
for defense or to pentreat a bullet resistance vest a non ser edge is better ...
police in england have taken to wearing mail again as protection agenst non serr edge knives, daggers and shanks. serr does not pentrate so much as rips on a pearceing cut. so if it is a defense knife or stelllfy attack tool you dont want serr as a servival tool or multi purpose you would... or if you want a non approate wicked looking blade ....
with witch you can sceare them off...
the seal's 184 if used for a stabing killing thrust could easly get hung up in the ribs or on tendons/ legmants and you would not be able to withdraw your knife in time to defend your self on from the next atacker...

Welcome to the forum Budda.

Usually when one of us doesn't answer, simply means we don't know and are waiting for some xpert to come along.

I just got in two of those, an OD and Tan. Really cool... My first Strider Bucks. Will have to see what I am going to do with them. My personal preference is a plain edge. fwiw....
 
Thanks for replies and the welcome. Hopefully someone @ Buck can answer my question. After reading the rumors of Buck/Strider collaboration breaking up, they may not even get to produce any 889 w/ serr. edge.
