I ordered some Buzzcuts and found this description of how their serration works. Wondering if folks who've used them have liked them.
Quote from Woody Sanford who apparently works for Magnus.
"The chisel serration works in the same direction the blade is moving. Kind of similar to some saw blades. The finer the serration the cleaner the cut but by saying finer its the height of the serration in regards to the one in front of it. The valley doesn't do anything but cause relief of tissue for it to contact the point behind it. That point works inline with the edge on top of the chisel behind it, its not a gouging edge off set of the direction like a saw blade is.
I seem to be having a hard time conveying to people just what is inside an animal. All tissue is not the same. Structures like the branches of the bronchial tree, trachea, and wall of the greater veins are stronger than most give them credit for and afforded movement. They can be pushed aside and how well a smooth edge cuts them depends on the level of sharpness. The one problem with "Sticky" sharp is durability. Some ways of getting it don't hold up to crashing into the side of an animal and the larger the animal the worse it is. I'm a fan of stropping to get it, it give a slight convex to the edge that increases volume and keeps it strong.
The chisel serration is just as effective at cutting these structures as "Sticky" sharp as the relief of the recess reduces pushing and the front corner of the chisel penetrates like a COC tip initiating cutting, especially on larger animals like elk and moose. Its also more durable than "Sticky" sharp but the level of durability of "Sticky" sharp comes with how you produce it and that is where people have a hard time getting to that point."
