I picked up a fully serrated pacific salt a couple of months ago and have really been putting it to work. I was kind of iffy on the knife at first, but the more I use this knife the more I like it! I did a regrind on the spine to give it a finer tip and that has really transformed the knife for me.
I am also enjoying the serrated h1. Aside from the normal anti corrosion benefits of h1, I really like the way it performs with a se. I've heard a lot of folks on here say that the se h1 is super hard and holds an edge forever, etc. That has not been my experience. It holds an edge better than the pe h1, but I find that even with a se, h1 has marginal edge retention. (I would compare it to my manix 2 in bd1) What I love though is how easily it takes a razor edge. I cut up a few fish and it loses it's razor edge, but with literally 1-2 minutes on the sharpmaker I've got it push cutting newsprint again! I just find serrated h1 is a great balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening.
I'm also enjoying using a se knife more than I thought I would. I bought this as a kayak fishing knife, but I find myself wanting to carry this blade quite often. It's actually stealing pocket time from my green pm2, and that's hard to do!
I guess that's it. Just wanted to share my experience with this knife. I would encourage anyone even considering this knife to pick one up. It's a great work knife and a real bargain IMO!

P.S. I'm still hoping to be able to buy this knife with a combo edge in the future. That would be awesome!
