What's the difference between "semi-stiff" and "flex"?

A flex knife might be good for trimming bone and fat. This semi-stiff knife has proven to be good for slicing and carving as well as trimming and boning for me. So, it fits both of my needs. I have been very pleased with this knife since I bought it. I use it almost daily and have not had to scrapen the blade yet.

Semi stiff allows trimming of roasts or a deboning type blade. Flex blade allows trimming or filet of a seafood item such as salmon or other fish. Hope this helps!! Either way this is a great knife!!

Flex refers to a blade that bends more easily to assist in delicate tasks like deboning fish or chicken. Semi-stiff is more rigid and better suited to heavier cutting tasks like working with beef, pork and most game. Both are good, provided you get the one that best suits your needs, eg., more flexible blades tend to need more maintenance to keep a fine edge if used for heavier cutting tasks and can, to inexperienced hands, be more dangerous to use since the blade, through flexing, moves both vertically and side to side.

It has softer keys, more like a computer keyboard. It is a little on the stiffer side though.

not stiff at all. they offer almost no resistance then recoil back to their original form. more than 3 feet and then maybe you can start feeling some pullback.

Shaft flex is uniflex, between regular and stiff. Does not take away 20 yards, completely untrue. It all depends on your swing speed.

It's stiffer and not wobbly at all. I prefer it, it really gets those tougher spots in the thigh muscles.

Nope.Flex has several different buttstocks, right?You need to check on the Limbsaver website or consult with them directly.Good luck.

Either would be fine, the clear one does have more flexability and bends under weight though.

I don't have a force, but they look different from the flex if you look on their website. I would assume they're different by the appearances.

I believe one is fuller and firmer then the other...but the one we got is fantastic. Ecspecially if you have a bad back or hips...good buy...

I have a flex 2 and am about 190lbs. It's about the perfect amount of flex for me.

Yes, you could call it soft. I am using the wire (in a 3d printer) controlling moving parts. The constant flexing of the wire has not caused any problems.

After googling this, id say the best comparison i found was an "assymetrical semi-convex"... but dont trust me. Lol

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

It's not rigid so it's flexible but you can wrap it as tight as you can stand it. I would say moderate to light compression depending upon how tight you set it.

am not sure, but the one of the ends is made from rubber, so is some flexible

It is very flexible. think of it as a fine rope. Very sturdy and strong. doesn't fray when working with it.

I agree its in between. Gel is stiff when frozen but not rigid. Can be massaged to make it more flexible.
