Partial Serrations

Honestly, I don't like them at all. For a survival knife though, they do stay decently sharp a while longer than PE, and are useful for cutting fiberous materials (where you need a tear).
 
I hate serrated blade knives for EDC, however I keep them on my life jackets when in my boat, incase I get tangled in ropes or nets or whatever
 
yeah like paleo said their only really good if your gonna be cutting alot of rope and whatnot. i would never own a fully serrated knife but a half serrated knife is still pushing it, they need like a 1/4th serrated knife
 
Serrations seem to just get in the way for most things that I use a knife for. There are certain activities that I would want serrations for though, such as boating or possibly climbing. . . Any time when I may need to cut a lot of rope quickly, or that freeing myself from rope/line/webbing might be necessary. But for general use, and for a BOB or survival kit I'll always choose a plain edge.
 
Hey Guys..

I don't like Serrations at all..
I even ground off the serrations on my OHT...

Plain edge for me!

Partial Serrations, no way! Serrations do not belong on a wilderness knife.
 
I don't think serrations are needed for anything. And I have cut a lot of ropes and cords, sometimes with rather much of a hurry, and never had a problem with plain edge blades. Serrations can be better than plain edges in some few things, though, and they stay 'sharp' longer, so that's worth considering. But I wouldn't want a survival knife with serrations.
 
:thumbdn: NO SERRATIONS!!! (Oh, sorry...didn't mean to raise my voice.):D
The only place for serrations is on a steak knife at Outback Steak House.

How did that work out, I was pondering about the same thing but was worrying about messing with the blade shape to much.

Do you have any pics?

PS - I am not a big fan of serrations for my knives, Just a nuisance
 
I've grown accustomed to having serrations on the majority of my blades. If it was down to just one, I would not have a knife in my kit that was without them now.
 
A blade that is totally serrated is a waste. Have given them away as there is little a serrated blade can do that a conventional edge can't over come, however there are many areas that the reverse can't be said.

I have got used to a small section that is serrated, nice to have the option. The Sog pentagon is a favourite EDC for me.

For survival, it is limited but good for cutting sinue quickly. I can't say why, if most of my EDC have at least a small part, would I go out of my way not to have serrations.
 
Serrations are awfull to sharpen. I am good at it but would hate to have to sharpen them in a pinch.
 
I never needed it. However, they came with my knife, and I use it like it was PE.

I do carry a full SE folder on me tho.
 
Not on a wilderness knife. I personally HATE them. They have a place if you're a mariner, but other than that forget it!
 
My EDC has part serrations, I really don't care for it. However it came in really handy to cut PVC pipe while I was repairing my sink.
 
I should have stated that I don't need serrations. I don't need a knife either. I could use a sharp rock. But I'm glad I can have something that makes my tasks easier.
Cutting cord, butchering game, making tinder, camp cooking and food prep are all things made easier for me with serrations.

Butchering game and food prep with a serrated knife? I don't see how you can like a serrated for these jobs, what knife?:confused:
