Are the serrations aggressive enough to slice through PVC pipe?

Yes excellent knife I'm an aircraft mechanic and in the Army I use it for lots of applications

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

As far as the serrations I use a diamond rod. For the edge I use a small diamond stone very lightly, going with the edge and then away to take off the wire edge.

They leave a very nice but not a completely sharp line. I use these shears as an emt and they cut through clothes on the first try. The purpose is therefore different than what you will most likely need it for and I don't think they will suffice.

Mine does not work on serrated edges. I think there are some others that do.

I believe further back the blade is serrated. Unfortunately I can't double-check since I mislaid it and haven't been able to find it. Sorry.

Yes, they are serrated and very sharp. I'm very happy with this product. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. I hope my answer helps you to make your decision. Have a good one.

Probably so. However, I would prefer the serrated version. Makes it easier to saw through material easier.

I'm not going to try it for you, but they are quite sharp, and with a block of hard-wood beneath (emd grain would likely be best), a heavy hammer and a sharp blow they do quite well. I'd be doubting more than a couple of layers of velt at a time, but do not actually know. I like the cutters. They have served me well, what little I've thus far used them. Good purchase.

I would say probably not. It is pretty thick metal. Not sure what tool you would need to cut this. Plus the edges are folded under behind each unit. You would ruin the edging.

Yes. There is a fine, and very effective, serrated edge to these excellent knives.

Yes, but be careful with hitting stuff, because the blade is not good quality.

Can't help you. Don't use serrated knives. Can tell you the Trizor made all my other knives dangerously sharp!

No, absolutely not! The cutting surfaces are far too sharp. My 12 year old is afraid to use it!

It could cut through them. I guess you would want to use a "wood" blade. How thick they are and how much effort it has to take to cut them will determine how long you can run it. I use it for PVC pipes to give you a reference point (if that helps)

NO. Even with a straight edge it would be difficult. It is best for rough cutout work.

Yes, the blades are slightly curved, surgical grade stainless steel and VERY sharp. It doesn't come with the serrated blades.

My guess would be that the PVC would chip badly - it is a bit brittle to be routed with a simple 2 edged straight bit. I've used this router attachment with my 300 series multispeed dremel on HDPE, but that is softer than PVC and it was a bit of a pain to do as too high a speed would melt the plastic
