POLL - Serrations or No Serrations

[mckrob]

Does having serrations affect whether or not you will purchase a particular CRK model ?

 

[bluka94]

It depends what knife/blade it is. I strongly vote for a serie of Pacific WITHOUT serrations.
I hope many of forum members will help voting for "Pacific without serrations - Now"!:thumbup:
I don't mind other CRK models. If others want serrations on them I will support it, but NOT on Pacific.
And I hope CRK will listen to us....

Alternatively, I could stand out to see same serrations on the spine instead, but not along the edge.

 

[Nathan S]

No serrations, please.

 

[Haze]

The choice is obvious

The Pacific and GB would be better with out serations IMO but I did still like them enough to buy them any way, for folders though, no way.

I'm with Haze, I like cookies.

I know where this poll is going. The only blade I have had with serrations was a 3.25" and all I can say is they just get in the way. Granted, that blade wasn't really big like a 7" fixed but still. What I'm getting at is that I would have to try a bigger blade with serrations to give an accurate vote whether or not I like them on large blades.

Goes like this;

Folders, No.
Small Fixed under 7ish", No.
Large Fixed over 7ish", Maybe.....most likely not.

So as of now; I will not buy it.

Let's see....

So far : 83 x $309 = $25,647

Nice amount of lost income. And, unfortunately, it will continue...
One manufacturer's loss = other manufacturer's gain. That's the way it works, isn't it?

I have a Green Beret and have often wondered how I could get rid of the serrations without screwing up the blade. Sadly, it can't be done.
I do not like serrations and almost always purchase around them. I've passed up alot of 'good deals' strictly due to serrations.
If I want an edge with teeth, I'll use a coarser stone on the back edge.

Halleluyah, bro!:thumbup:

Serrations aren't necessarily a deal breaker, but they definitely don't appeal to me.

 

[A1Fiddler]

There is no need for serrations if the blade is sharp enough. I would hate if my Tanto II had serrations.

 

[OD-SnG]

Not only is there no need for serrations but i think they look terrible.:thumbdn:

 

[T.K.C.]

I do not care for serrations. BUT, with that said, I think CRK has THE BEST serrations in the business.

 

[biggerjon]

depending on the knife, i do not mind a 1/2 or 1/3 serrated blade.

 

[pete-800]

I had my eye on the Pacific for a while but i didnt like the serrations and couldnt bring myself to buy a knife with serrations for $300, so i got another knife. Sorry Chris, I love your knives but if you would offer it without serrations you would have had at leaset one more customer.

 

[bluka94]

Pacific is a beautiful and high quality knife, we all know that. But serrations are pushing customers away.
Do it right and launch a serie of Pacific without serrations!

 

[tsiloics]

Generally speaking, I prefer blades without serrations.

Part of the strength of a knife is that it's a general tool. Overly specialized characteristics may be helpful some of the time, but are likely to be more of a liability than an asset in the big picture.

Of course I'm talking about knives that are actually used, in real-world situations. Not fantasy knives, or knives designed to commemorate events not undertaken by their actual users.

 

[Dave Costin]

Well, I'm glad to be in the majority! No serrations for me!


Thanks for the heads up Bluka. :thumbup:

 

[bluka94]

My pleasure
Pass the word, bro

Look what you did - now I have to uppdate the loss-counter
