Warstein Unless you are spending heaps of time in the bush/outdoors, a serrated / plain dual knife is more useful than a saw IMHO. I carry a serrated knife and can think of 10% time I needed a saw and so pulled my foldable saw out or my little fixed saw, both of which go through saplings like water....

Too many good small saws out there already
Including very good folding ones

Days blade not long enough for saw
To be effective

The serrated edge cuts a lot of things, probably 70% of what a saw could cut

Yeah I let spell check on the phone do it’s thing and pray for a favorable outcome, and if not at least a funny ones

And that was certainly a funny one lol

Gotta love auto speller !

Awesome photos. Nice to see them lined up together, a good reference.

Well done for getting them all. I've just started and got 2, soon to be 3 lol

I have only one knife featuring serrations (Delica CE); No problem to keep those sharp on the sharpmaker. One thing I wonder: Will the tips of the serrations get rounded over time when dragged across the corners of the rod during the sharpening process?! Yes. Two things to note though: The effect i...

Sorry to say but I do think some over think things.

The comment above re ‘if you actually used it to cut something you would know the blade is 70% thicker’ says sooooo much.

Not everybody likes compression locks. Got it in one. And that's before all the other good responses like post No 2. Pelagic "love the delica for its geometry, ergos, and price. " I've been using an Endura for 27 years, I might by a compression lock but I d don't have to think or look at ...

Pity it's a flipper, I'd buy one if it was legal here in Oz.

For some reason it reminds me of an Opinel.

On a different note- Who’s buying a delica for $75 odd dollars when the new para3 lightweight is $90? Other than the lock which some have strong opinions on gotta say that’s a tough sell! At the moment I buy Endura's because I like the lock and don't have the chance to handle the others although I ...

No DLC. Corrosion resistance isn't aided by it either.

Did I get that right? DLC does not aid in corrosion resistance?

That's my understanding of it, both from his post and others.

Those two posts sure show how long a timeframe it takes to get to market and costs involved. That's why it's so much more profitable to just copy a design once it's perfected. "It is a wise man that copies a successful man so that he too can be successful". sal It pisses me off no end. An...

I’ve looked at getting molds made for FRN type material, certainly not cheap.

Thanks guys, sorry forgot to mention it is a knife I intend to sell figured paint would just look sloppy. Also very curious to see what would happen. Oh and I used the wrong word was getting the DLC off the serrations and sharpening them not reprofiling when I slipped. Not a deep scratch but those ...

Scratches are character, don't worry. A knife without scratches just means you haven't used it enough yet.

Totally agree.

If you showed me an EDC DLC knife looking pristine, unmarked, I’d seriously wonder.

Can you post the two logos from normal eyesight range ?

I like the Gauntlet and Para 3 serrated.

Not too sure of the Wharncliffe/Toucan lol


What do you mean by
‘I like the idea of cat’s eye stones’ ?

Fact is, it IS done but does not look very appealing, solid and practical to me.... https://www.google.de/search?client=ms-android-samsung&source=android-home&source=hp&ei=rpM4XNSlNKrmsAes1au4BA&q=schwimmendes+taschenmesser&oq=schwimmendes+taschenmesser&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-h...

FYI, VG-10 was created for grafting of plants.

Interesting.

Why specifically grafting of plants and why ?

Instead of a lanyard hole, make the knife scales buoyant.

Interesting concept.

Not sure how it could be done.
