I feel like you're taking this personally. Odd, when you essentially tried to call me out. "Well, come work with ME doing a bunch of things that you don't have to do!" as though I must not know what I was talking about, and I simply put a stop to that. If serrations work for you, then that's fine. They don't serve any purpose to me, and I've done quite a lot of cutting in my time. The issue I have with serrations is that they are good for one thing, a thing which is a tremendously narrow use-case. Cutting mulch bags, and some vines, would serrations be useful? Sure. That doesn't mean a straight edge wouldn't do those tasks, which has been my point.
Dude, please let it go as I have. Tried to call you out? No sir I stated a few valid points. And believe me I am taking nothing personal from you. Just amazed at your insistance to keep beating a dead Horse. You sir are the one taking my choice of Knives personal and trying to discredit my posts and reasons. Your first post was calling me out. Stating a few reasons I like what I do. And yes I own a BM Adamas in D2. Also have a Buck 110 in S30v. You know what? It dulls quicker than an 8cr Byrd in my line of work. I even admitted you were right and gave you props about using a utility knife. What else do you want? Me to order you a Pizza and beer? I know I have little say since I am not a gold member and on a free account. And don't try to tell me Gold Members are not given more slack. You do not know much about landscaping if you think a Machete is good for Tree Ivy roots or flower beds with rare fragile plants. I doubt customers would appreciate me smacking their trees, flower beds, Wood fences, and bushes that cost thousands with a Machete. One mistake with a Machete can ruin expensive plants and damage expensive pots and statues. There is one reason we use Serrated knives. Another is less sharpening. Utility knives I admit was a good point. Would work. But I can see some disadvantages with that such as 1/2 cutting surface being a bit small for some jobs and those blades dull quicker than piss. I mainly use those for cutting linoleum and construction whick unfortunatly I had to quit due to severe foot issues that do not let me wear Steel Toes anymore. Yeah Serrated knives can cut roots in the ground without damaging bushes and flower beds. 90% of my knives are straight edge. And yes I use a Machete when I can. But not in Flower beds some people have over $20,000 on up in. Too big of a risk to use a Machete in some scenarios. Like to drop this now.
