Celebrating this fine day with a steak. let’s call it medium rare Monday.

Broke out this JDVD “Mini Gold” for a “South African Sunday Special” carry…..and rolled it into a “Momentously Monumental Monday” carry.

I've attempted to grind serrations several times before. They looked terrible, but they worked well. Good luck if you give it a shot

Thank you for responding.
The most recent one I serrated was a Cold Steel 3 inch Holdout. I chose that one because there isn't much handle hanging down below a straight shot back from the blade edge and that is sort of what I need but I am sure that belly and curved tip of your Ark would be even more useful.
Also the tiny Cold Steel serrations tend to hold tape glue and debris where the Spyderedge does not so that is why I put large serrations on the plain edge Holdout.


I have very recently bought the Gray FRN Serrated Chaparral but will not have a chance to use it at work until another truck load comes in.
I used it last night side by side with a factory edge Spyderco Carbon Fiber Mantra on cutting up croissant boxes from the bakery and cutting up a lotion bottle to get the last goop out and I must repeat : I am NOT a serrated edge fan and prefer polished plain edge. The Mantra blew the serrated away
but
there are CERTAINLY tasks where the serrated shines !

I was surprised to find the actual sharpening bevel that was on top of the Chap. serrations to be surprisingly obtuse. I would have much preferred they used the angle they created when forming the serrations. There seemed to be some angle on the flat side right on the edge. Not an optimal Spyderedge IMO

Is it true the ARK has no flat right side but is hollow ground on both sides ? I thought I read that in the past some where.
It seems you have a rare and unique knife there in any case.

It is interesting the sense of urgency the pups have the lower the temperature drops.

They instinctively know running with an icicle cannnn be dangerous .

A little winter humor.

and todays knife

Thank You !
We got some good laughs there !

I bought the Single Blade Trapper end of 2024 and am SO HAPPY to have it ! The trapper is my favorite pattern to use.
But
The Slimline Trapper is my favorite to look at !!!
It really grabs me that way. Beautiful !
now I'm not supposedly to buy anymore knives and you go and show me THAT ONE.
Thanks

Morning, gang. Carrying too many knives? Meh, what does that even mean?

Do you like the sodbuster?

 

[KentuckyBlackBird]

Packing some light tools today. Errands to run and haven’t carried the Terrasaur in a while. That little Gerber isn’t bad for a budget friendly option. The bone stag has evolved into my true edc I guess.

 

[Weiss]

Carrying these today. Mostly to sharpen, but also for fun.

 

[Bigdaddyrooster]

Have to ask, how long have you had this Buck? Really love this model.

At least ten years.

 

[The True North]

Carrying a couple recent acquisitions today. Makes a nice pair.
