Bi-Metal vs Safety Blade
We just picked up the Donek D2 drag knife and I'm eager to get going with it. I've read through the documentation, and watched a couple of the Donek videos, but I have yet to see a clear example of bi-metal vs safety blades. It's clear in the documentation what some of the structural differences are, but it doesn't go into much detail on telling the difference or when to use which. I've done a web search on it, which has only lead to more confusion. Shaving razors, box cutters and utility knives flood the results. I've also see on Irwin's own site, an item listed as a "Bi-metal Safety Blade." !?! So...
What is the difference (how does one recognize one from the other if they're not labeled)?
What kinds of projects benefits from bi-metal vs safety?
Thanks!
