MS or SS

[Tyrkon Lawson]

I know we haven't held the SUS SCROFAs yet but...

If you could only choose 1 for an EDC which one and why? I traditionally like the drop points so the SS has taken me by surprise. I like its larger choil over the smaller one on the MS. I'm so confused. And no "just buy them both" nonsense. I'm just curious as to pros and cons of the SS. What a great price. I hear that the blade style is also very effective for SD. The SS looks like it would be a great slasher but how would it do on thrusts? Hmmmmm. I'll have to look into this. Thanks.

hahaha.... I wouldn't want either of them being thrusted at me. The MS has a clip point (older ones Spear/Drop Point) that are centered with the blade so they would feel more natural while thrusting. The SS would be a better slasher but can also be used to thrust. Selection would really depend on your style and how you are trained. I would chose neither as a SD knife because I prefer point up edge-in or point down edge-in (pikal). But for general utility I would chose the SS over the MS. I just prefer Wharnie type blades for general use because of the thin fine point. This makes it easier for detail cutting with the tip and makes for a great box cutter. Since the SS is a Wharnie/Hawkbill hybrid it would make for a very aggressive slasher and slicer as well.

I never leave home without my MrS. 'Bout says it all. It is THE perfect EDC blade.

Thanks Hammie for putting me onto this super blade.
