Hello, what are your thoughts on the CGFBM with serrations? I am trying to decide what I want to hold onto, and I wonder if anyone actually uses the serrations on these choppers. Do you prefer with or without the serrations?
 
This is all speculation here since I don't have any CGFBMs, but I don't find serrations that useful on a knife that big, which I'd primarily be using as a chopper.
1. All that chopping might blow out (perhaps an incorrect term but I thought it would sound cool) the serrations.
2. All that chopping could have an effect on a plain edge, too, but I'll bet an INFI plain edge, even after hours and hours of getting beat up, could still handle what serrated edges are meant to do.
3. I don't find many situations where I'd be chopping and in need of a serrated edge. In general, I do chopping in the wilderness, while serrated edges are more for urban tasks, like cutting up rope or cardboard. Though you might need to cut rope in the wilderness, too, see #2 :cool:

That's me. I only use my knives when I go out camping. Most importantly, since it sounds like you have both a CGFBM with and without serrations, which one have you found yourself using more?
 
I think you need to sell me the CGFBM w/ serrations...problem solved! ...I'll keep an eye out for that PM. :D:thumbup::thumbup:
 
I don't care for serrations on my choppers. If it's just a show piece that's another story.
 
I prefer without on a big chopper.
 
I don't think you'd need serrations on a big knife - just chop thru whatever you would need to saw thru with a smaller blade.

I find serrations useful when opening packages. I use themon tape, rope, cardboard but I use a smaller knife for those kind of things.

I did order the Knoboganzaaaa satin RMD #23 with serrations but I doubt I;d get them on anything larger.
 
Thanks guys, my sentiments exactly. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something and have seller's remorse after I sold the serrated version. Not being a collector, I am only keeping one that I will end up using at some point.
 
My buddy got one of the Knob Creek FBM's with serrations and while its not my cup of tea, they look cool and dont interfere with chopping. you dont chop 2" from the handle.
 
does anybody have any pictures? (or a link) I don't believe I've seen any battle mistresses with serrations...
 
There was a run of coated .27ish sabre fbm's from the last Knob Creek that had the little serrations, saw those on evil bay and our exchange here.

There are satin/tequila sunrise handled 1 of 13? BWM bowies that have the big serrations as well that were on the exchange.

I don't have any pics as they were not mine, but I bet a quick search can locate them.

I haven't seen any on CGFBM's with CBT's though, so that would be cool to see. ;)
 
Also a few Sandstorm coated BWM's with serrations from the Janitor's closet floating around. :)
I prefer mine without, but did snag one of those BWM's to see how it looks. Pretty cool considering it's a lighter Mistress, but not sure if I'll put it to use since I have a few other BM users.
