Videos tagged with Partial Serration

This video advocates for carrying at least one partially serrated pocket knife as part of an everyday carry (EDC) setup, arguing that while plain edge knives excel at clean cuts on fibrous materials, serrations offer superior performance on tougher, less predictable materials. The presenter highlights scenarios like cutting rope, plastic wrap, or PVC pipe where serrations provide a significant advantage, especially when a perfectly clean cut isn't necessary. The primary drawback discussed is the increased difficulty in sharpening serrated blades compared to plain edge knives.

This video reviews the Benchmade Bugout 535S, a knife featuring a combination edge with both plain and serrated sections. The presenter discusses its functionality for everyday carry, particularly for outdoor activities like camping and hunting, highlighting its S30V steel and drop-point blade. The video also compares it to other knives and explores the pros and cons of combination edge blades, emphasizing their utility for tougher cuts like rope and fabric, while noting the challenges in sharpening and potential for dulling the plain edge.
