DIGGER SURVEY

If you were purchasing a new hand digger with serrations (for root cutting) would you want the serrations on the left, right or both sides of the digger. That's holding the digger in front of you with the blade facing up. Please respond below this post. Thank you.

Ralph, kudos for you and Sun Ray for being responsive to customer input. Since I am right-handed, and dig (sorta) from right to left, I'd prefer the serrations to be on the right side, i.e. the "trailing" side of the digger. Thanks, and HH Jim
 
Ralph,
I use the Jimmy Sierra digging tool, which I really enjoy, but I really wish the serrated edge was on the left side rather than the right side. I'm right-handed and always start my digging on the right side pulling toward me and then across the front. Having the serrated side on the left would give me a lot more cutting power. And it's always a bit awkward to have to turn it around or shift to my left hand when trying to saw through a root. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
HH,
Dan
 
Being a relative newcomer I would favor both sides. What I would place even higher on my list would be the ability to hold an edge.
The SS one I have now are nice. They don't rust but no matter how I sharpen them they just do not stay sharp.
Also consider how you sharpen the teeth. How much rake and if you use any set to the teeth.
Sharp point and smooth edge is better for cutting a neat plug in grass. That is why so many THers use a hunting knife. Teeth are better for roots. (Or an ax)
