Kershaw Recurve

Typical...whenever you stop debating, or find yourself unable to logically and intelligently defend your comments, you have to accuse someone of arguing, or their opinion isn't right, or in this case, mathematics at its core is dysfunctional.

It's a joke. Albeit a funny one :)

This is about the time you tell me to go re-read the thread.
 
But what is better? 9mm or .45?


BTW, I like my Kershaw recurve. Looks like a mean SOB and I've used it plenty.

Joe, I'd appreciate it if you would go re read the thread.... apparently you have missed something.... or was that, I have missed something. I can't ever remember.....;)

My comments happen to be opinions, as I have stated and explained. I don't seem to be the one missing anything.

If you want to argue more, feel free to take it to a PM or email. :) Coward. ;) It's okay, we're all scared of something.

"Well your opinions happen to be wrong."

I see you still haven't made any progress on the whole "make sense when you insult" area.

Were geometry and English back to back in highschool?

Your hypocrisy is blatant sir.

You may want to re-read the thread. :rolleyes:

If you wish to insult, go somewhere else. This discussion was going fine until you and J_Curd showed up.

Fine as in spreading mis-information about cutting on a flat surface, back-pedal free, or chastising someone about arguing then doing more of the same and calling names??

Im confused. I think coward is an insult right?

I just recently showed up in this thread, first post was a quote from you and my second post was giving you a helpful link, I don't see how I screwed over this thread.

One thing is for certain young man, no one has ever called me a coward to my face, nor would you...

I believe an "email and PM" tough guy is worse than your average intraweb baddazz.

How about you imagine that you're laying the blade flat on the cutting board. You know, like a sane person not trying to dig up an argument. ;)

Back to the topic.
I think the illustrations are quite informative. If I take a look at my cutting boards I tend to find that most of the wear is toward the center. I would rarely cut near the edge of the board as would be required to get the green parts of the illustration into use.

I'll throw a Kershaw recurve (Spec Bump) into the mix.

You get more edge contact anywhere over the board and have clearance for your fingers. This seems to be a pretty good argument for a recurve in a folder.
 
Judging by those diagrams, if you are cutting on a flat board, as JoshK used as an example, the Military can only use 50% of it's blade (not accounting for knuckles either, which would make it have less available cutting area). But a Needs Work... 100% of the blade can be used, so by your definition, the Needs Work has the best blade shape out there?
I'm just a bit confused since you claim one thing, are proved wrong, and then insult whoever proves you wrong.

I guess I'm just lost, your logic doesn't make sense to me.

Considering I didn't say my only cutting was done on a cutting board, you can think whatever you like.

"Claim one thing, proven wrong, insult those who prove me wrong." Clever pattern, but not one I follow. I have expressed my dislike of recurves for my general purpose edc.

Let's look at my little image.

Let's also refresh our memory of what I actually said while we're at it.

There are some things I don't like cutting with a slight inward curve. Cutting on a flat surface is one definite example that comes to mind. It's also part personal preference and use. People ardently refuse to use liner locks because they feel they are weak.

I don't use my knives in the kitchen, but I often do make cuts on a flat surface.
 
So you assume that all your cuts are made on the edge of a flat surface or table? Typically you aren't cutting the end 2" of anything.
Usually, if I'm cutting on a flat surface, my knuckles are over that same flat surface, which means that JCurds diagrams have revelance and yours don't, since 99% of the time I'm cutting on a flat surface, it's not on the end 2" like you showed.

Cutting on the edge of a flat surface, your illustration plays out. If cutting anywhere other than on the edge of the flat surface, it fails.

So you've demonstrated conclusively that his diagrams have relevance to 99% of your cutting situations, not mine. Give yourself a pat on the back fool.
