Apex

The Apex blade is similar in design to the Scallop blade when you look at the convex profile. The Apex has a straight grind, whereas the Scallop has individually ground gullets. The standard Apex blade is produced from carbon steel and has a 1/2” pitch. While the Apex offers less penetration than the Scallop blade, it does have greater penetration than either the Knife Edge blades or the V-Tooth blades. If you like the Scallop blade, but its price is prohibitive, the Apex may be the right solution for your project.
