Interesting... To be honest I never really paid attention but I don’t think that’s anything I encounter on a regular basis or I grab something different from my tool box cuz it’s right in front of me (I’m an automotive technician).
I didn’t mean to be offensive in any way... I was only looking for a more in depth explanation of what kind of cuts you were talking about and clearly I misunderstood as others seem to have followed. My apologies.
Yep, spyderedge can't do that unless it's ground down almost flat. Thanks for demonstrating.
that's the plain edge toward the tip of almost all spyderedge knives. it's not ground down at all. that's the way it comes from spyderco. it's something a few of us have pointed out already in this thread.

Yes, it's the plain edge portion of the blade, doing something the spyderedge portion can't, unless you grind down the spyderedge portion.

and that's why we love spyderedge. there is enough plain edge at the tip that we can do anything we need with the spyderedge blades. for everything else, to include cutting zip ties that aren't flat against a surface, spyderedge is superior or just as good.

I've used them enough to know your last sentence is false.

I first discovered the value of SE back in 1998. My first time with a CE Endura. Before that, I was convinced that any serrated knives couldn’t be resharpened, so I avoided them in my pocket knives. Once I got my first Sharpmaker, I realized that resharpening Spyderco’s serrations is easy.
Do I like SE more than PE? Not really. I like both, for different things. And it depends on the knife model and the uses I’m going to put it to. Some I prefer in PE and some I prefer in SE. For example, I have 3 Tasman Salts, and all three are SE. My first Pacific Salt was PE, but after trying it in SE, I now only use it in SE. I prefer the SS Police model in full SE (I have this model in all three edge configurations). I like my Militaries, PM2, etc. the way they are: PE.

i agree. there are some knives that i don't want in se. the yojimbo being a prime example. i have no desire to mar that beautiful blade with serrations and it's a highly effective plain edge.
however, if i'm only grabbing one knife, it's going to be my se pac salt because it can handle anything and everything i may need a knife to do and it begs to be used.
so, it's not necessarily that i prefer spyderedge to plain edge. it's just that if i had to carry only one knife to handle everything i might encounter in a day, it's going to be spyderedge.

Said it before: While so far I prefer (ffg) SE in almost any folder EDC task, there most likely will be more or less where PE works better (and those tasks just don´t really occur in my personal day to day use).
So I fully get what you mean!
Anyway, reading your post, Jim, I realize that you know the spyderedge "only" in sabre- or sabre hollow grind, right?
I think I recall that you plan to get an Endela SE eventually, and hope you´ll do so and try out ffg - and "non aggressive" SE! Just cause I think you´d like it, not cause I am inclined to convert anyone to "only SE" by any means...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

this is my experience with my salts and my first ladybug. i really need to get a caribbean and try out ffg se.
You do! :)
Never had a Caribbean SE myself, but I have a feeling that David/Evil D kind of likes it... :D :p
