David, you really made my Sunday with this post. I haven't been over here since ages only to find this gem.
As a full serrations nut since 2005, I very much appreciate this.
I had a plan to make one of these post myself but you did a better job than I ever could since I can't post pics anymore on this forum (photobucket broke down for me)
Nice to see I'm not the only one with those wavy serrations on my Salts. It sure was a labour of love, but very well worth it.
Thanks man!

Wartstein my friend serrations are functionally excellent. I prefer combo edges.

David hello friend. What is your opinion of knife makers cutting serrations onto the top half of a knife blade rather than the bottom half? Would that improve cutting performance?

SEF, my friend, so you´re back?! That´s good!! :grin-big eyes :clinking-mugs

/ Actually my ffg comboedge Endura ("thin red line") really made me appreciate comboedges again! Very useful indeed. Though I think at the end of the day I still prefer full SE with that short (but not TOO short) PE section towards the tip.

Just lately though I came across a task where PE is actually clearly superior over PE: Had to scrape some sticky residue from a wooden surface - no way SE could do that sufficiently (same goes for scraping resin of dwarf mountain pines from my palms - sometimes one has to grab that shrubs when climbing, cause they cover all of the rock at some patches).
