Oh that one was a repurposed kitchen knife I bought from a thrift store. Someone got rid of it because it was too dull and they didn't know how to sharpen, and I grabbed it for $2. It ended up sitting in my knife bag for a few years until it became my platform to try serrations about two and a half weeks ago. I serrated the whole length of it (about 8 inches if I recall) and then cut the cheap plastic handle off and made a smaller knife out of it.
It's the top one in this photo of knives from that thrift store, all of which were previously longer with cheap black plastic handles. I cleaned them up a bit since then. The steak knife looking thing was my second attempt at serrations, and you can see I tried the one big, two small pattern. I didn't like it as much as the other, and also it's more efficient to keep the same size drum on my dremel for the whole job anyway. My mom liked that one, though, so I gave it to her when she came over for dinner a week and a half ago.

I have a Mora Companion serrated and it has a hard time cutting through para cord which surprised me . Have to try it on other types of fibrous material

That is strange. Even a very dull serrated blade should cut para cord without much trouble.
I've ordered a Mora Companion serrated to see how it does.
Let us know how your Mora serrated does. Yes, I found it very strange since my other Moras (plain edge) cut through paracord like butter. Well, my Garberg didn’t do that well either. I attributed that to a thicker edge but my Garberg didn’t come all that sharp truthfully. The regular Companion , the Robust, the Companion HD and Eldridge are amazing slicers in my experience
Was at the airsoft store today, they had no Rope model and only had this one, I asked the guy how it cuts... he told me the same you wrote here. It just hungs for it, he even demostrated it with display model and piece of cord that used to be lanyard that customer left behind - and yep, it was hanging up on it. Disappointing considering my plain edge knives blow right through that, and ESEE serrations do even better.
I hope yours will do better than his and the one I saw at the store today. Let us know how it goes.
Perhaps Mora doesn't know how to properly sharpen serrations and all they need is good sharpening?
The Sabi knife 8- Makiri H1 blade. Made by G.Sakai who makes Spyderco's Seki knives.
where do I buy these? I just searched without success

Thanks for asking the question. As a result I just found out that they discontinued this model. Sorry about that, I remebered this model from a couple of years back. Now they only offer the Sabiknife 8 in straight blade and partial serration versions.
I see they also still make a Sabiknife 9 which reminds kind of me of my old Spyderco Civilian in blade shape.
"Sabu" means Rust in Japanese and G.Sakai introduced the series at the same time they started the H1 blades for Spyderco. Sabiknives 1 to 9 plus Sabiknife Tipi are all H1 knives aimed at the fishing/watersports market. Can't link here but these knives can be found on Amazon Japan (just click English). Don't know if any US dealer handles them though.
Watch Out, he’s got a serrated knife. That’s not a serrated knife. This is a serrated knife.View attachment 2181621
Check out Tom Veff sharpening..... His serration called Veff serrations are the best I've used for rope, hose etc!!! You can use each individual serration as a type of gut hook too... I found them to work great on those dam .plastic clam shell packs they put everything in nowadays to keep thieves at bay!!!
Hopefully this link works for a pic.
Go to his website to see what his previous works look like.....Some fixed blades in there...He'll do it to any blade you send him!
Good luck

. (Thanks for that by the way. 
) The serrations on the first half of the blade are basically veff serrations, given the angle I gave them.
Veff serrations are brilliant, because they angle the points of the serrations back for very aggressive cutting. Which is why I emulated them in the first place, and will continue to do so.
