What was the main idea......?

Hi: I was wondering if anyone can tell me what was the main idea behind SOG putting so much serration on the Dessert Dagger? They chose a good steel and a fine design ( I perfer the Gerber MK II personaly), but I still tend to use that portion of the blade to do fine work on slicing and making kindling. Will SOG ever make the Dagger with no serrations?

I'm not sure what the reason was behind putting serrations on both sides. However their new daggers, the "daggerts," only have serrations on one side.

I agree wholeheartedly; it's why I don't really like the vast majority of partially serrated edges. That being said, I don't think many folks bought the Desert Dagger with the intention of using it for bushcraft-type applications; there are simply too many other models which are far more practical for such use.

Yeah;...I agree with ya Buckykatt, however I don't try to limit a blade to its catagory, I wouldnt try to chop a tree with the Dagger, but it is lightweight and provides two edges of utility rather than just one. Like I said before, light work whittling the kindling and maybe gutting small game.

Heck yeah, the Daniel Boone method. :thumbup:

I'd own more SOGs if I could get certain models without serrations. It seems like they're keeping the edge/finish options diverse with most of the new line, which is definitely a good thing. I'd love a serration-free Tsunami or Northwest Ranger, though.
