As the proud owner of "CrossLock DoubleBlade" I would like to shear my opinion.
First of all: "CrossLock" series are quite good products.
After mucking about with partially serrated blades I'd started thinking on multyblade one-hand-opened utility folder and even drawing up some sketches looked little bit like "CrossLock DoubleBlade" until I saw "CrossLocks in catalog (at that very moment I thought: "Not only you are so clever, MIKLE").
Improvements proposed by some people (Joe Talmadge and others) look no bad, but in my opinion utility(efficiency)/price ratio will be decisive. Maybe drop-point blades with false edges or clip-point blades have more sexier looking, but it seems me that FLAT-GROUND DROP-POINTED blades are more practical.
I would like to have a serrated sheepsfoot blade with some belly at edge and serration on right side. In my opinion serration on right side is more practical 'cose such blades are used not only for cutting (ropes or twigs) but for slashing too, for example: bread, meat or cheese for sandwiches - why not
For "CrossLock Yachtsmen" with sheepsfoot partially serrated blade only, besides some belly at edge and serration on right side, I would like to have serration at front (approximately 2/3 of the blade) and plain edge near handle.
Regards,
MIKLE
BTW: It is difficult to find "CrossLock Yachtsmen" in my country, our knives dealers say it is difficult to get them from BUCK.
