Pocket Knife Sharpening Tips – Partially Serrated Vs Straight Edge

When it comes to selecting a pocket knife, it can be difficult to tell the difference between partially serrated and straight edge blades. If you want to ensure that you get the best value for your money when you buy a pocket knife, then it is advisable to know what the differences are between these two styles of knives before making your purchase. This article will provide some important information that you should consider when choosing a pocket knife and will help you determine whether or not they are the right choice for you.

In many cases, knife makers will produce a knife with a straight edge that has serrated facets on the top of the blade. While the flat top of the knife will provide an excellent cutting tool, it can also be dangerous if you are not aware of how to use the knife properly. Some of the mistakes that many people make when using this type of knives include cutting themselves or others without following proper safety techniques. If you choose to purchase a partially serrated knife, then you will be able to avoid some of the common mistakes that occur when using this style of knife.

If you were to compare a partially serrated knife with a straight edge knife, you would first notice that the flat top of the straight edge blade does not have as much “give.” Because of this, when you are cutting with this type of knife, you will have to apply more pressure to the bottom of the knife to make a cut. On the other hand, the serrated edge of a knife allows for more blade “give.” As a result, the knife sharpener may be able to make the knife more accurate, durable, and easy to use when compared to a straight edge blade.
