Recommend a good serrated Spydie?

zl1 · Feb 4, 2013

My brother currently has a Delica 4 ffg but he's currently looking for a knife with serrations as he feels it suits him better.
As far as size, anything around the Delica's 3 inch blade ~7 inch overall would be great.
I'm not sure if he prefers fully serrated or combo edge.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Salt 1? Similar knife but SE H1

I like the fully serrated Delica in ZDP-189.

Definitely the Salt 1. Fully serrated is far more useful than part serrated, especially on a 3" blade.

Another vote for the Salt 1. The SE version's steel is close to the edge retention of VG-10 (IIRC) and its rust proof.

One more for the Salt 1. I've had one for years and It's yet to let me down!

I don't own a fully serrated Spyderco yet, but when I do it will be something in H1 just from what I have read. I would not go with a combo edge.

Salt Tasman. Fully serrated hawkbills are very cool.

Dragonfly SE in H1 steel.

I have really been considering this, but fear that it may be a bit too short of a blade to really utilize the serrations. What say you? Plus, I kind of want a yellow knife!

To get the full scope of what a Spyderedged Spyderco model can do you really need to check out a fully serrated Hawkbill model. It seems like the Hawkbills in full SE really do great on rough cutting jobs.

Any of the Rescue type blades that Spyderco has including the C-14 & C-45 models are really great cutting tools that you just can't go wrong with.

One of my favorite past models in full SE for it's small size is the full Spyderedged Dodo model. That SE Dodo is truly a beast for all kinds of cutting chores. The C-60 Ayoob in full SE along with a fully serrated Catcherman model are 2 great choices for outdoor jobs.
