The top clamp is smooth, the 1/4" pipe clamp right under it is serrated slightly, has like 4 teeth on each side.

It seem to me from all the comments each one is different. So u would be taking a chance of getting one that fits ur need. But the clamp is very strong Rite grip n very heavy.

The release lever has parallel serrations. The finish is a matte black coating vs. bare stainless, which is also available.

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.

I was also considering both the K4 and K5 kits and eventually purchased the K4. The face clamp included with the K4 is a quality tool, and is essential to ensuring a flush joint - it also doubles as the clamp to hold the jig securely to your work surface while drilling the pocket holes. It is not included with the K5, so that's an additional $18-20 purchase.

There is a clamp. You can't actually see it in the picture because it fits to the bottom of the grey base and secures it to the edge of a table or a counter. Overall, the clamping mechanism is all metal and very solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I am not familiar with the term, machined flat face. It appears flat and when placed on my counter, does not rock at all. There are no ridges on the bottom. I have not used it enough to know if it will warp.

It seems to me that the threads were cut in the dumbell ends after the bars are chrome plated. Thus, the edged of the thread grooves are sharp. The chrome plating on my bars has not flaked, as you might expect. I can see that those sharp grooves could develop a serrated character if the plating flakes.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

OOps! sorry I gave a response thinking this was the alox model which I also have. It is the black plastic and great to carry because of its slim design. great tool to have.

The tip is pointed. The serration seems to "soften" the look somewhat, but they are still pointed rather than rounded.

It would be at the top edge of your work. However, if you cut a length of channel aluminum/iron with a hole drilled through one side and mounted to the end of the plunger. You would enlarge the contact point. This way, the clamping surface would be down and as wide as you need it.

There are two slots. The first is a rough cut and the second a fine cut. They both use the diamond rotating metal removal process, but you can tell that the second slot is a much finer cut than the first. I use this on my Victorinox Chef's Knife which has a thin 12-15 degree Japanese style taper and it works very well. This might not be the right choice if you have a typical western blade with a 22 degree angle as it would take a long time to reshape the edge.

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.

Jill, textured and smooth... I would say that for the textured side, the raised shapes (circles and diamonds) were by injecting air from the back side (smooth side). However, from the smooth side all the "holes" from the circles and diamonds are visible and you can put your fingernail in these holes.They don't slip - doesn't matter which side is up or down. I have granite counters and no problems. I also use them in the fridge if I am forced to put a pot in that is still hot... I throw one of these in under the pot. For $8 or whatever it is, you can't go wrong.

Hey mike, the sog you will recieve is the straight edge or plain edge if you will. They discontinued the serrated version a while back. I had the same concern and called sog to find out.

You don't see the other side of the top blade that is corrugated to not slip when cutting some plastics...I think that's it.It makes sharpening the scissors more difficult... So be sure to not drop them, on hard surfaces... Or cut hard metals with them... Small copper wires is not a problem.Also, they are tinier than you think... (Not for men.)
