Question about S&W Homeland Security Survival Knife

[Eycee]

I was looking at the S&W Homeland Security knife and by the picture it looks as if it is double edged....is it??

It looks like its got the saw tooth blade on top and then a plain edge on the bottom....i need a good double edged blade like this. Can someone tell me if im correct with my observation of thinking its a double edged blade please?? lol

Thanks in advance,

Eycee

Welcome to Bladeforums, your are right, it's a plain edged "tanto" blade with a saw back. That's not realy what is typically called a "double edge" blade though, usually that's a blade that has both sides fully sharpened with the same style edge or similar.

This SOG Daggert2 is more of a true double edged knife, both sides plain, with one side having a small serrated section.
