Fully serrated folder, not spyderco

im curious as to how something you're cutting can get caught in the hole and jam the blade :confused:

I really don't want to get into it, but think about a dense cardboard tube. If I do a cut that goes past the hole, rough edges of tube get into the hole and prevent blade extraction. I have to make sure that I don't cut too deep. A longer blade would work better, but my power cuts are still closer to the handle where the hole is.

that still doesn't make must sense to me, but it seems really important that nobody can know what your cutting.

my guess is the gerber hinderer rescue. what about using a small pocket saw?

p.s. i hope what you are doing with the knife isn't illegal.

Dense cardboard tube.
You see we already going back and forth about what I'm cutting and if other tool would work better, when I simply wanted to find a knife with serrated edge that will fit my criteria and work for me.
I have tried different saws, serrated edge works best and I can use knife for other purposes.

Gerber/hinderer looks promising.

But a victorinox little vicky paring knife would probably be your best cutter if you can't have a spydie.

I don't know about you all but I keep hearing the twilight zone theme song in my head when I'm reading this thread...
 
If your talking about sonotubes or other concrete footing form tubes a knife is probably the worst tool for the job !
 
Victorinox also has a couple good one handed openers with serrations. It does have a hole though. Maybe it wont be big enough to cause a problem. Take a look at the Dual Pro X.
 
I know this probably isn't ideal but you could just cut the spydie hole off..
 
Does it need to be a folder? The Spyderco Aqua Salt or Jumpmaster can be had fully serrated and the holes they put in those blades are very small and basically just there to preserve the trademark. Those small holes might not hang up in your secret material.

Or, spend $3 on a tube of epoxy putty at the auto parts store and fill in the hole.
 
to my knowledge only spyderco and coldsteel offers full serrations on the blade, and cold steel's serrations sucks. so spyderco might be you only option. i have seen some people try filling the spydie hole with some mold plastic. u might want to try that.

You guys just can't give it a rest. Forget about what is needed to be done. I just want to find a knife that fits criteria listed in the first post. No need to complicate a simple thing.

It's a simple cardboard tube like ones used for shipping blueprints, large printed material and stuff like that. They vary in density and size. I need to cut it along with some other tough cardboard quite often in different locations and very often in office environment.

Serrations are the best thing for me. As I have pointed out I have tried different saws and decided not to use them because they didn't work for me as good as I hoped. I can't carry one with me all the time. Saw also makes more mess than serrations and sometimes it is a problem.

I already considered filling the spyderco hole, or even putting my own serrations on an inexpensive flat ground folder. I just wanted to see if there are other options on the market that I might've missed. I think I will give a serrated SAK another go, though much prefer one-hand-opener.
 
So what are you trying to cut.....?

I have cut through cardboard tubing and dozens of other materials and have never had my Spydercos get caught up by the hole. Even used a fully serrated Spyderco to clear out some "hemp" plants. I can't think of a single thing that the hole would cause problems cutting....illegal or otherwise.
 
Screwdriver - Refer to post 34.

No need to wig out effer, people were just trying to be helpful. Good luck.

i have piece of 10" cardboard concrete form in my house. i just tried to cut it with my spyderco para 2 (plain edge). even though i can easily cut it, when i push the blade all the way in, the cardboard does lock into the hole and makes removing the knife difficult. the smaller hole on my buck vantage also got caught , but it was a little easier to remove. now i understand what the OP is talking about (but there was no reason for him to get secret squirrel on us). for cutting this type of material, having a hole in the blade can be a disadvantage.

I'm sure you can find a maker/member here that can put serrations on a plain edge folder for you at a reasonable price. Here's a possible knife:
