Seems like it'd be a good skinner with that belly I'm not a fan of serrations I rarely find them useful and I like having blade at the base of the handle bc it's easy to control for tasks that need a lot of torque like stripping bark.
You're my new go-to knife guy.
What's the ostensible purpose for serrations on a knife like this?
i can't speak for this specific knife, but generally knife serations are fucking phenomenal for rope (or anything you'd need to saw). like, i used to work on a farm and carried a half serated knife and loved it - the normal part is for general use while the serrated part is for opening hay bales and emergency untangling animals from fencing/nets/etc.
I guess for cutting rope and such. You can't really use them as a saw for anything more than that but they'll cut rope real fast. I wouldn't mind having serrations on the back of the knife but I don't like them on the blade.
I see, thanks for the explanation! I'll be sure to take a serrated knife if I ever visit that bridge in Temple of Doom.
Speaking of, (I digress) cutting rope with a sword or knife is a common trope in movies set in ancient times. It's dramatic but anachronistic because rope was painstaking to produce. Ancient people would certainly rather take an extra minute to properly untie the knot.
IDK. I actually can't read.
I'm just really good at guessing which keys to press.trick question!
all manner of craft by the bush bandit is in fact bushcraft
Absolutely do not let this butterfinger handle a knife
Yeah it's one of those but made from paracord and attached to a knife.
Google "paracord lanyard" for examples.
There is a set of people, mostly dudes, for whom knives are basically jewelry. A development on masculinity tropes. Sometimes they make lanyards for their knives.
I've been wondering what that was ever since I saved the image. Thanks!
You’re just trying to lure our Aussie comrades into a game of Knifey Spooney, aren’t you?
