I agree. Spyderco serrations are the best in the industry. Others seem to copy "the look" but sorely lack the cutting power when the rubber meets the road in actual use. Also, if you'll note, Spyderco serrations are different on each blade they're put on. It's like they've been custom matched to the edge type, blade length and overall grind angle of that particular blade. There's a world of difference between the serrations on a Lum Chinese folder vs the teeth on the Military. Yet both are on flat ground blades. Still and all, they each cut like lasers. The Jester has much smaller teeth (of course) but they cut just as efficently (for a knife this puny) while somehow still fitting the edges of the triangle stones for sharpening.
Over the lifespan of the serrated edge, the points wear and get more rounded. With Spyderco serrations this doesn't seem to have any adverse effect of the cutting performance. My wife has worn the tips of her K04 kitchen knife down to comical looking "bumps" but the Sharpmaker still puts a wonderful cutting edge back on it without a problem. Over time I fully expect this knife to become a plainedge as she refuses to stop using ceramic platters for cutting boards. I've also worn the tips down on my Jester which I use for every abusive cutting job I won't subject my EDC Military to. Rounded tips and all, I wouldn't want that puny little knife aimed at me. Actually, when the tips get a little rounded the knife seems to glide better and not snag as readily.
Victorinox serrations are fairly decent also, a distant second place. The teeth on my Swisstool Spirit are still going strong after over a year of rough use and they sharpen up real nice on the Sharpmaker. They cut with a different "attitude" than Spyderco teeth and don't hold their sharpness nearly as long but they perform better than other serrations in the industry.
)I mean this in terms of use and in terms of ease in sharpening. Thanks again.
