Any fully serrated knives aside for Spyderco, Byrd, or Cold Steel?

I had some QC issues with a few Spydies which for time being left a bad taste in my mouth. I do not want to call out issues and get shot down. I own a Byrd and not impressed with edge holding ability. And Cold Steel serrations are known to snap and break.

Are you sure you had a real Spyderco and not a knockoff? Not that a company can't have a lemon but I find this story a little lacking in the details.
I have several Spyderco knives, all good, obviously better than the Byrd line. I have several Benchmade knives, couple half serrated, no issues there other than the slight off center issue on a couple models. I have several Cold Steel knives, both plain edge and serrated, I use these the most freely, no issues except for one in s35vn that I'm having issues sharpening but I think that's me and not the knife. You might also consider a good quality utility knife with upgraded blades.
 
Man, for what your intended use is, the Tasman Salt is perfect. Serrated Hawkbill in a rustproof steel. I know a few vines around my parts give even stainless steels a run for their money when it comes to discoloration. The Hawkbill design should shred through those vines in a heartbeat too.

^ My Tasman. It’s really a good design, one I originally skipped for a multitude of reasons, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how useful it is

The issues I had were from the Wall Mart liner lock models in store. Not their upper end stuff. I could have slipped a cut Penny between handle and liner to fix the lock slippage but I decided to try a 2nd one. Same problem so I got a refund. Gonna try a higher end Spydie later this year when I can afford $100 to $150.
 
spyderco full serrations I like.

cold steel ones, AntDogs right. right off the bat, hard to sharpen without buying a special sharpener tool for it, and yeah its cheap enough but that aint the point. lose it and you're screwed. even cold steel cant/wont resharpen them, unless theyve changed recently? cold steel have said they are for meat use/self defense not designed for day to day cutting, unless theyve changed that position recently as well? shame as I'd like a full serrated cold steel with better serrations, is what it is.......

Hate to admit , but I agree . I really love Cold Steel in general , but their serrations kinda just suck . PITA to sharpen ! :mad::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Great slicing machine from the factory , but not so good if you want a knife to actually use a lot . :(

As the title implies I am looking for knife companies aside for Spyderco, Byrd, and Cold Steel that do fully serrated folders. I am finding it hard to find a fully serrated folder made by any other manufacturer.

David Boye makes a serrated version of his folder. His knives are excellent and if you f-it up he'll regrind for free. They are kind of production, but also kind of custom. I've had one fo 20 years. Best EDC folder design I have.
 
Boye knives are far and away the best salt water stuff. Period.
