From "Mean" to "Meaner". . . A Side By Side Comparison . . . Pic & Specs . . .

The New Meaner Street

OAL = 8 3/4"
Blade Length = (From Handle) 4 1/8"



Original Mean Street

OAL = 8 1/4" Long
Blade Length = (From Handle) 4"

 

[Josh Muller]

i now understand where the "meaner street" name comes into play

and the anagram would appear to be "mrs"

 

[Bravado]

Yowzaa!

 

[Eric Isaacson]

Compared to the new one the old one looks more like a "prissy little girlie Street" or for ease of remembering the PLGS

 

[idahoskunk]

cool! a guy should buy one of each color and thickness

 

[Progunner]

Too cool. How's about an AD side by side with the new MS?

 

[randucci]

Jerry, how about making the butt end of the "Meaner Street" into a bottle opener? Since the "Meaner Street" will be a EDC, you never know when you will need to open some CBL! It looks as though it needs to be finished into something.

 

[BillyJoeBob]

Yep, I'm going to have to get me one of those.

Cheers,
BJB

OK, the meaner street is awesome....but that is one sweet MS too

Satin and OD canvas....

 

[thatmguy]

Or sharpen that pup up for more of a surprise "slash" factor...

 

[Wilco]

Ok, Ok, that is bad ass. I still want my FSH, but, i'll take one of those new mean streets in the meantime....

 

[gk4ever]

I like the original MS design, but the Meaner Street looks pretty cool too!

me too but with the different style i think a guy should collect the whole set!!

 

[Ed Ricketts]

What wilco said...and throw in a fusion BM while you are at it. please.

 

[MikeH]

Nice set of steak knives, Skunk!

 

[Eric Isaacson]

Skunk,
Nice picture, but where's the Satin LMS? Oh yeah, I have that one

 

[RokJok]

That's a fun puppy, Jerry!!

If I may ask, what is the stock thickness on the MRS, edge type (symetrical or asym), and primary bevel grind type? On my monitor it almost looks like it has a shallow hollow grind.

PorkJok,

The stock thickness on the MRS is .220. It has a full height (ground all the way to the spine) flat grind and sports a 20 degree symmetrical edge. . . . . errrrr. . . and a swedge grind. . . . let's not forget the swedge grind. . . .

[randucci]

Jerry, isn't there a "partial swedge grind" on the top spine of the .220 MRS? That is what the description on the website states:

"The thick .220" blade (That's nearly 1/4" thick) features a full height grind for optimal cutting geometry and is coupled with a partial swedge grind for added strength and much better penetration."



I hope so, that is what I ordered, thanks.

Hmmm . . . I checked my post and it seems to say that I mentioned the swedge grind. . . .

Don't worry. . . .it's Five O' clock somewhere
