Who is number one?

[Grant Lamontagne]

We can argue brands and pliers till the end of time, so we won't go into that, but what tool do you think has the best blade?  Since the blade is probably the second most used tool on a multi (or maybe the first?) it's usually pretty important.

Personally I think that the SwissTool and the SwissGrip has almost all the others beat, but then Wenger and Victorinox have been making knives long enough now they should know how to do it!

What's your favorite?

I thought the "best" blade was the one on the Charge ti?

As far as shape goes, I like the largest one on the Core.

My Charge has taken a side trip and may not come back so I can't comment on it!

The Charge is pretty good because of the OHO but the Swisstools blade ( both plain and serrated ) I find the most usefull for general cutting , it certainly outperformed other SAKs in the pumpkin carving stakes

I guess I was mostly referring to cutting chores because that's what a knife is meant for...

But whatever is important to everyone is what counts.

I like the Core and SwissTool blades serrated and plain because of their size.

Another Core reference....  my resolve weakens further....

I cast my vote in favor of the non-serrated blade on the Charge. I haven't used it enough to say whether the 154CM has made a difference, but I like the size and shape of it a lot. Also, I must admit, the slick ease of the one-hand-opening on the Charge makes me grab this tool first if I know I will be doing any amount of knife work.
