Serrated Police vs serrated Military

[Jeff/1911]

Hello Fellow Spyderco enthusiasts,



Those of you with both of these knives or perhaps those who have used them... Does the Police model cut as aggressively as the Military w/ both in serrated form? Is it close?



You see, I already own a plain edged Military, and I will soon have a serrated stainless steel Police model (it’s on order). So I’m wondering, will the Police model complement the Military as it’s serrated buddy and act as an acceptable “folding saw” when I need one? I realize that the Police model has a hollow ground blade of ATS-55 and the Military is flat ground CPM-440V with lots of belly; hence my question.



I already have plans to carry both, as I have found the Miltary extremely comfortable to carry IWB and I’m betting the stainless Police will be as good or better. I’m just wondering now whether I need to set my future sights on a serrated Military next. Yikes!

It's been explained to me that the serrations on the ATS-55 blade of the Police model are different (not as smooth) as those on the CPM-440V blade of the Military; effecting ease of resharpening when using the Sharpmaker 204. This evidently influences how easily the stone of the sharpmaker can track the serration during the sharpening process.

Does anyone else wish to comment on this?
