Serrated blade on a Stockman

[jacknife]

Hi. I've got a MM89 ? It's the only Stockman I have and I was wondering why the sheepsfoot blade on this model is serrated? I don't remember seeing many Stockmen with this feature, does anyone know the reason?

MM89 was an 89OT SFO made for Cotter (Tru-Value) with the Master Mechanic stamp. The 89OT Blazer did have the "scalloped" blade. Made 1989-1999.

I guess the scalloped blade would be for cutting rope or something then?

Thanks for the info.

They do work good on rope or other hard to cut things like nylon straps, etc.

They are a great variation on the stockman pattern. I like them & have several. :thumbup:

While we're talking about serrated blades, I have some to show. I'm trying to figure out my new camera.




A Camillus "Ole Smokey" 712 Bone Congress, the MM89, and an 885UH (actually an "889" SFO). It has the standard 885/8OT clip, a serrated sheeps foot, and a punch blade.



With the blades out.

Nice looking trio you have there.
