Would any of you have a notion as to the rationale for putting a sheepsfoot serrated blade on the Spirit as its primary blade???Just wondering, Bill.
They're changing it. The new Spirits have a regular blade instead:
So I take it that I'm in the minority since I don't mind the butterknife on spirit?
According to a Victorinox brochure i received today as a gift, there were four reasons to opt for this kind of blade (sorry, the brochure is in Spanish, so you'll have to trust me ):1.- Three quarters of the blade are serrated, and this kind of age stays sharp for longer than a plain edge, and is more appropriated for cutting bread and salami 2.- To cut wood you have to use the base of the blade, where usually, you apply more force for this kind of task.3.- Without a tip, there is less risk of an accident, without sacrificing functionality.4.- This way, there are less chances that the tool will be considered as a weapon by the authorities.As you can see, your guesses were very close to the truth!CarlosP.S. If anyone wishes, i can scan the brochure, it has a lot of interesting info, but you have to learn Spanish to read it!
