PE on short blade, combo serration on long blade

[blade4sell]

So I was thinking...I normally only buy PE...I don't even bother looking at serration. I did wanted a full serration but have not take the dive yet.

But I was thinking like the thread title...in some incidents like cutting a seat beat, plastics, branches...serration makes a great differences. And you do see w/serrations is priced higher. So if I were to buy a combo blade, makes sense buying one with longer blade for example the Endura 4 rather than the Delica 4

Does this sound logical?

I guess yes it's logical.......but I'm my opinion the most useful part of the blade is the first 2" so I would prefer a smaller knife so you could take full advantage of the serrations and the plain edge.

It seems logical to me that you would need a minimum length of serrations in order for them to be of benefit. I have seen combo-edge blades that had half of the blade serrated and half left as plain edge, to the point where the plain edge part seemed to have its usefulness compromised. This is the reason that I have stayed away from CE blades lately.

I did buy a fully serrated knife to test, but so far I don't think that my use really benefits from serrations. I think if a person really benefits from serrations then they might want to carry a second knife that is fully serrated.

CE is priced higher than PE.....and there are lots out there, demand is not as much as PE. There gotta be some useful reason why they still making CE though.

People no longer know how to sharpen the knives they buy. Not in the general population, I mean. They buy combo edges so that they can cut things for a longer period of time without losing the edge.
