ive been collecting for over 40 yr , its comes and goes . full serrations was 70's , combo 80's , plain 90 's and 2010 , recently im going back to full serration great video -- thanks

Damn man. I need a full Spyderedge to cut with. Good video. You have made me really curious. Bad things happen to my wallet when I'm curious.

I EDC'd a fully serrated edge Endura with the black ti coating for 20 years! It was my all time favorite and just decided one day to try the plain edge and went for it for the supposed ease of sharpening. What I find is that even if its dull, a serrated edge will still cut, like you said, by catching the material in the little hooks. When a flat edge knife is dull, it wont cut nearly as well as a dull serrated edge. But I do generally prefer the straight edge knife now, for some reason. hah

Long term use on all my different partial serrated blades, I've always had to touch up the plain edge part and the serrations stayed sharp

Thanks man, well done I just ordered a native with serrations can't wait

I love spyderco serrations. I started using them a few months ago and am totally sold.

I think I remember Eric saying a full spydie edge gives double the cutting edge if you measure out the serrations against a plain edge. Even so Spyderco serrations are top notch most aggressive cutting serrations hands down.

I have to repair poly irrigation pipes fairly often. Serrations are the way to go, just zips right through it. Plain edge on poly pipe you have to stab the tip in and rock it back and forth, it takes 3 times as long as it does with se

Cold Steel Voyager 4'' full serrated tanto , i have one, its a little samurai sword, love it

There's more use per serrated area of a spyderco full serrated or partial serrated blade for real world use than plain edge. When I carry a plain edge in the pocket or full sized in the field I always have a nagging worry in the back of my head that my plain edge just won't have the overall ability to cut than my serrated blade would. I hated that feeling so I always edc a serrated spyderco now.

I favorited this one. Very good showing your points! Man I wish I made this vid!

Smith's retractable sharpening diamond gives you crazy serrated edges, I've used these for about two years..they work great

Great demonstration on the use of both style blades. I really like the aesthetics of a straight edge but I do think the serrated edge is a lil more versatile for everyday use.

Very well illustrated points there, Randy. I have a Kershaw Avalance & Shallot that are part serrated which I use for some pretty rough work. The Avalanch serrations are like Spyderco's, and the Shallot's are reverse-scalloped. Either one works great, but I find that the Shallot's serrations cut smoother instead of biting into the material.

I agree spyderco serrations are really good, same as some of the kershaws, they still slice extremely well but do have the adavantage of being able to cut through certain materials faster

I do prefer serrated edges because the ripping/saw ability and because you never need to sharpen a serrated blade for the blade to be usable but o lot times the plain edge is more attractive than the serrated edge.

i still need to get a full SE knife. great vid!

I was hoping you would cut some paper. I have not figured out how I like to sharpen mine yet. I tried the sharpmaker way, I tried the Jdavis way but the most effective has been using a dremel tool with a felt wheel with some compound it on it. I first make a nice burr with the spyderco ceramic, then just clean the edge up with the dremel. Seems to work the best but still can't get it where I want it.

You should try Victorinox serrations. They do not look cool enough, but they cut through rope like butter. And they are easy to sharpen. I also have a Cold Steel Urban Pall, which is a small push dagger with an 1.5 inch blade, combo edge. I love its ergonomics but the serrations are too aggressive and they sometimes tear, rather than cut.

If you want Spyderco pattern serrations on the ones you can't find with serrations, contact Willey Knives. They can cut Spyderco pattern serrations for $6.

I like serrations, the spyderco is not good for carve wood because the serration edge is on the left side, I would like a serration on the other side, like the swiss soldier, it would be perfect in my opinion.

For full effect on raw flesh wrapped with denim around a bamboo pole you need to watch the vid on you tube and serrated has superior deeper penetration but tears the fabric. And wound caused by serrations are difficult to stitch. And then for edc the serrations are best. Another vid was done slicing small tomatoes and serrated was superior for slicing extremely thin slices without ruining the tomato and was superior to plain edge.

i tend to agree with you on this topic, like you i agree with some of what john said, but serrations are really nice sometimes, i like them for starting cuts with a combo edge, because of that bite

i found serrations are great for cutting through zip ties. I like to carry a partial serrated blade at work.

i totaly feel like you i love serrations and i just dont have the right tool to sharp it but i think a half serrated and half fine edge knife is the best like the BG ultimate knife,but in pocket knifes i like full serrations!i saw serratins cut this wood block werry good nice vid. serrations RULE!!!

you gotta try the benchmade serrations on wood, only reason i say this is because i just did not too long ago, and it rips right through it

My biggest problem is I don't like combo edge knives, I don't like the look of it. I prefer full serrated or plain edge, I don't have much experience with serrations though. I haven't really found a full serrated knife that I like thats in my preferred price range for a knife.

I carry a spiderco Police full serated for 3.5 years and for me it is even better than a Strider or chris reeve just because of the serations!!! I love them! They are just superior!!

Agreed, everyone should own atleast one fully serrated Spydie. I have a Pacific Salt fully serrated.

nice video! imho the serrated blade is a must only for ropes. a thin blade knife will be good for anything else. a batoning knife will not perform well at slice stuff, so a serrated blade will be even more needed. i own a Victorinox SwissTool Plus Rathcet , with a thin but strong enough blade. i can sharpen it very good but it will struggle to cut plastic ropes or hemp ropes. not at first few cuts, but soon after.

I wish Spyderco would make the Cricket with a larger handle. :( I always buy Spydercos serrated, they stay sharp longer, cut better, and when they start to show wear you can just send them back to the company to be sharpened.

Spyderco serrated knife is the best the stainless police edition is the best knife ever made fully serrated

Have you seen Tomm Veff`s full serrated blades? Veff serations are the best out there in my opinion.

I am concidering getting a Endura 4 but I am trying to decide on a full straight edge or half and half. What is your opinion?

Since you like serrations so much you should show us how you sharpen them because I would like to see that.

why do Spyderco do their serrations on wrong side of blade? For right handers -- most people. If you were left handed then you could infact carve wood with that knife

I have to agree on that :P But if i know that i gonna need a serrated edge you gonna bring that but that dont happen very often.

Have you ever tried the serrations that KA-BAR has?

i love the veff serrations

Serrations is always better than a plain edge.

Hey that wasn't bias at all 🤗

I don't think folks are very happy with jdavis the last I was seeing.. poor guy, I think he meant well and things just didn't work out. I like his videos and still watch them.

combine the SE with a Hawkbill. For example a Spydie Tasman or Matriarch (actually a S-curve)!

5:13 That is why I carry plain edge...

On the plastics it looks like you are using way more force with the serrated ones lol

Great vid! I'm a closet serrated and combo edge guy. Lol. I do believe you can get the Manix 2 in full serrated edge.

ya but the cunsernes that i have with serrations is the when or if it come time that u need to sharpen them how would u?

I have a cool pull through that sharpens them great !!!

Manix 2 comes fully serrated

Excelent review thanks!

@ultragooey I prefer the Kershaw/Victorinox/Mora serrations. YMMV (not ultragooey, but anyone who might read this), but I'm not a fan of agressive serrations.

Besides rope cutting, another use where I think full serr is plainly ;-) superior is in SD. Too grisly to elaborate on ... yuk.

I have a Military and a Para Military both are full serration.

jdavis's video seemed to be a bit ignorant to me. Obviously he knows way more than most people on YT about knives, but he was way off on his serrations video. He actually said that serrations do nothing better than a straight edge. That's just ridiculous. Of course serrated edges can do things better, and straight edges can do things better than serrations. They both serve a purpose. I have come to really appreciate fully serrated blades these days. Good job! Someone needed to post a response.

It doesn’t whittle wood because there isn’t a flat edge that is there to cut it’s not because it’s chisel ground. Why do you think they use chisels in wood work???

Check out MKM Hawk Bill w serrations

@nanashi1o3 LOL yah steak knives are serrated!

Why in the world is the Para 2 just PE... don't make sense.

@cacox97able1 Serrations

Serrations

dont cut soft paper or plastic....try hard wood, copper, aluminium, kevlar, frozen meat - serrated edges win

Spyderco serrations are ingenious design by spyderco and cold steel comes close.

+ding174 I love Spyderco's serrations. Cold Steel's look weird to me, almost like a Ginsu.

The police!!!
