Hi All,
Anyone know or have any information on why there are ka-bar utility knives (full size) in the 1211 series that have serrations on either the left side or the right side of the blade? Is there a diffrence in use ability or a benefit to having the serrations on one side or the other? Gurus plz help

Ive mostly seen knives like this with serrations on the left I dont think ive ever seen a knife with serrations on the right...And when I say left I mean if I was looking at the spine of the blade.

All though I am left handed but use tools and such like knives in my right hand, its weird, and ive read that most right handed users would prefer the serations on the right for ease of use.
 
The Kabar Big Brother has the serrations on the opposite side of the blade, only one I've seen like it. A pic:

This is the one I have. I got it a trade-lot, haven't done anything with it. I'll probably put it up on That Auction Site here soon.

Yes, it's pretty ridiculous. It's been in my knife chest, down at the bottom for a little while. I mean, if I were going to war against the zombies, I'm sure this would definitely be a good companion. I can't think of any other use for it, however, so it sits until I get some time to toss it up on the Bay.
