I figured I’m more likely to cut some tough synthetic rope than neuter som poor beast, and hence I proceeded to manhandle the spey blade on my cheapest R&R trapper.

I think this could be an attractive modification to those of you who may have less use for the spey blade. What do you guys think?

I think you ruined a good blade. But that's just my opinion, bucause I like and use spey blades, and dislike serrated blades.

Absolutely, I knew I was venturing into deep water given most knife enthusiasts here don’t care much for serrations. It’s almost like sacrilege, hope it’s not enough to get me banned from BF
🤣
 
I’m not usually a fan of serations, but can see the value of a fully serated secondary blade. As long as it’s paired with a regular master blade. You did a fine job on the serations. How does it cut?
 
If it makes it better for your purposes, it's no waste. It's a Rough Rider. They're not safe queens. :thumbsup:

Well, that minor detail forced me to bring out the good of’ dremel. My first serrations didn’t cut well at all, obviously because the teeth became pyramid shaped from the original grinding. Using the Dremel, I more or less managed a classical wavy serrated pattern with all edges sharp, albeit a bit irregular at places. And it cuts rope pretty well now
