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

CRKT used to make some with Veff serrations.
I don't actually use serrations that much, but satisfied with several serrated spydies i owned= pacific salt, old ss police, etc
 
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
I agree that this particular knife should work very well. I understand not wanting to carry many cutting tools, but I would suspect that you tend to do one task at a time.... cut vines, spread mulch, etc. I would get the above knife and serrated blades for a basic utility knife that feels good in your hand. I would give the Spydie a try as I feel their fully serrated blades are about the best in the business.

Vic makes a fully serrated blade, but I believe it is more intended for rope, fabric, and seat belts.... Not my choice for your kind of work....
SOG made a few fully serrated folders in the past. The old Northwest Ranger (believe that is the correct name) was partially serrated and about a 6" fixed blade. It would work for you too. I have one that I would let you have for a reasonable price.

The Cold Steel tactical shovel which can be sharpened might really be useful in your line of work for slashing and cutting at ground level.

I think most people understand that you're working and need your tools. (I've carried knives into court houses, Federal and State with permission.) A fixed blade would be a good addition for your varied tasks. I would just be cool about the use of cutting tools around people who might be uncomfortable. In most cases, the discomfort is caused by YOU and not the blade. The blade just adds to the issue.

Added: The other day I was opening a large taped shut box for someone who really didn't have the tools to open it properly. So, I whip out my little SAK and slice the box very quickly as I always do with things like this.... I noticed that the other person recoiled when I moved quickly cutting the tape on the box with the SAK. That was my mistake. The same kind of thing can happen when we do things out of habit with a knife and not really "think".

I haven't been super impressed with Cold Steel serrations in terms of cutting ability for EDC. I'm sure for cutting "meat" they work well.
Give Spyderco another chance. Their serrations are the best.
