Combo Edge 30 Day Challenge: 2-1-26 to 3-2-26
on: December 30, 2025, 12:36:43 AM
Welcome to the 5th annual Combo Edge Challenge.  In February through March (a combo of months) we will challenge ourselves by using a partially serrated blade on a folding knife or multitool.

Many good tools have a combo edge blade and most of us have at least one in our collection, whether that is because we thought it was a good idea at the time, or because the tool just happened to come with it.  Many people feel apprehensive about using them because they feel that it doesn't quite do the job that dedicated serrated or plain edges do, so why not use one or the other instead of a combo.  But if you ask me, I think that with a bit of finesse they can do anything that one needs for day to day tasks. 

Some common tools that have a combo edge blade:
LM Signal,
Swisstool Spirit (with butter blade),
Leatherman MUT,
Benchmade Griptillian,
SOG Powerlock
Victorinox Soldier or 111mm
Skeletool
Gerber MP 400
Spyderco Delica

This is your chance to take out the knife or multitool that has a partially serrated blade that you haven't used much and put it through its paces.  You'll even get a badge out of it!

Victorinox Soldier or 111mm
The 90-day Soldier challenge will be running in February. Since I'll be using a USCK, and I already have the 90-day badge, there's no reason to miss out on the Combo Edge badge.
