50/50 blade but with a twist...

[CalypsoKid]

What if the serrated edge were on the front part of the blade and the plain edge on the rear toward the handle. Does anyone think this would be more useable? I'm sure that some of you may be making a face as thought you sucked on a lemon, but just think about it for a minute, and I'm sure that you could agree that a knife configured in this manner could be very useful.



I have an old Ginko knife set ($19.95 for 4 knives <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>) that has this feature and it is one of my favorite knives in the kitchen. This knife saws through steaks and bread with equal aplumb but it occurs to me that you could easily use the plain edge part of the blade to sharpen a stake or a pencil, something that is not as easy to do with a serrated blade or with as much control as with the serrated edge on the front.



This is just a thought, it may have already occured to Sal. Anyway, have a good one.

Here here! My main arguement against combo blades is that the serrations are on the back half of the blade. I find myself using that part of the blade a lot for jobs requiring a plain edge.

I'd like to try that configuration.I thought the ComboEdge was a gimmick until I used it;I see no reason why this shouldn't work.Be an interesting experiment,at least.I'd buy one,say in Delica size?

Don't forget the Dyads. A full blade of each persuasion right at your hand. No compromises needed.

Right/wrong/indifferent, tend to think small chance that something that bucks the trends of the entire -- well so you have one exception -- industry. Go for it.
