Spyderedge vs. plain

[WhyNot]

Can anybody explain this… People are talking all the time about advantages of spyderedge and yet, you can often see “highly desirable plain edge” used in knife description. What’s up with that?

 

[Michael Cook]

EDC usability and collectablity are two differant things.

 

[WhyNot]

Thanks, Michael.
Is there any reason that plain edge is preferable by collectors?

 

[Halfneck]

Most people are more familiar with a plain edge knife. Same people are probably unsure how to sharpen it too.

Plainedge also looks a lot nicer on a lot of designs, so it's more desireable to collectors.
