I got my very first Spyderco folder at a gun show way back in 1995. It was a stainless handled, fully serrated, GIN-1 Mariner model. At the time I got it I wanted a premium, high quality serrated folder and at that time all my friends were saying that Spyderco was the undisputed best for SE. Needless to say I was not disappointed>> and it was shortly after that I became a huge fan of the Spyderedge>> the rest is history as they always say.

What I'm wanting to know is how you all think Spyderco's serrations stack up against the serrated blades that their competitors produce. Lately I've noticed that there are some other companies out there that are putting out some respectable serrated blades. I still think that Spyderco is without a doubt the king of serrated blades but there are some companies out there that are getting closer in quality to Spyderco.

So what do you all think that sets Spyderco's serrated blades apart from their competition? Also would you all like to see more different serrated patterns offered by Spyderco? I really like some of the more rounded/wavy serrations like the ones on Spyderco's culinary blades. OK Let's Talk TEETH
 
One of my main thrusts of this thread is to get everyone to consider other serration patterns because I believe that not all serration patterns are created equal by any means. There are some patterns that are too "spikey" and thus snag clothes>>whereas the rounded/wavy serrations don't have that problem.

Now there are jobs that the "Spikey"serrations are superior like cutting through rough fibrous materials like cardboard, leather and various cordage and straps of all kinds. Serrated blades do indeed have their place and Spyderco has really made a lot of strides in that area.
