One Reason I Reeeeaally Like Serrations

[Mistwalker]

Great post Mist,
You know what..I have really been changing in the way I look at my collection. I still think for carving wood, Scandi X 1/8" is the way to go...but as far as going into the woods and bumming around..I find that I need my Chopper more than my whittler. And you know what could fit on a chopper, serrations..and not mess with performance at all.
That way you have them...if you need them.
BUT

Wait for it.....


Why not a Saw Back knife? To thick maybe?

I like serrations so every knife I find that has them in a different location I tried to get a hold of one to check out. I thought I would like them better out towards the very tip so I tried the new Vic Soldier...then I realized how much I use the tip when whittling and carving so now I learned I like them just fine near the handle (but can cope with them pretty well where ever).

I don't know about too thick. I have a TOPS Steel Eagle 111A that I have apparently lost the folder on that I have been working on a review of for months...guess I'll be starting over...but the saw it it works pretty well and it is 1/4" also.

I have some of my own thoughts on this subject...I just don't think I want to air them just yet. I do like your line of thinking though :thumbup:

For me it usually goes better and quicker using good serrations to saw out the notch rather than hack, whittle, or batonning it when using the thicker blades that I prefer.

Or you could just use a nice thin scandi knife that will push cut a notch in seconds, but hey thats just my highly efficient self

The thought of being alone in the bush with only a mora makes me shudder!!
