How many of us do like serrations?

Hello,

I find serrated blades (or some nice pruning shears) are most helpful when harvesting pumpkins. The stems are quite woody when they're good and ripe.

Frag --

What kind of edge did you have on the plain blade. In general, I find that plain edges will beat serrations on smaller-diamater rope every time, provided the plain edge has been sharpened for maximum performance -- low-angle bevels, and not too high-grit finish. The harder the rope, the better serrations do, the softer the rope, the easier the plain edge wins.

On the other hand, if you're talking about a plain edge direct from the Benchmade factory, it will do very badly.
 
As an LEO and Kayaker I love serrations. The reasons are numerous and you can probably guess them. I would like to add that I almost never sharpen them and they still work, as opposed to a "rough" sharpened non serrated blade. Glad I'm not the only one that likes'em
 
I can only tolerate serrations on a cheap, user knife such as a Benchmade or Spyderco, but not on a custom, or Sebenza.
