I hear the Busse Battle Mistress works pretty well as a bottle opener... set bottle on table, have victim--I mean friend hold the bottom and stay away from top. Remove knife from sheath, and swing with your aim about 1/2" under the lip on the bottle. top just flies off... gonna be interesting to drink from though.

I gather than "plain" seems to be the choice of the day here. I just ordered a partially serrated Kershaw Boa to replace the Timberline Discovery that I wore into the ground, and I'm wondering if I should have gotten a plain one instead. I chose serrated because the serrations on the Timberline kept their sharpness long after the plain edge wore down. Also, the serrated edge seemed better able to cut through cords, ties, and other work-related stuff. Any thoughts?

Ok I recieved my ST model Leek today, PE coming tomorow probably. So far I have to say...SERRATED SUCKS. I'm probably regurgitating whats already been said but.. the serration just takes up bladeroom. The serrations on the leek I find aren't fine enough to help all that much with cutting through cardboard or anything, but that's just what I found. Overall I am very impressed with the leek, though it is slightly smaller than I had imagined. It came far sharper than I imagined too, which I discovered quickly with two fresh cuts

Maybe the serrations stay sharper longer, but have you tried to sharpen them once they're dull? It's an annoying process.
If you're doing stuff like cutting nylon cord every day, a serrated knife would probably be good for you. Otherwise, though, a good sharp plain blade will take care of it all.
