Serrated edge or not?....

Serrated edges pay off when cutting rope, when cutting a lot of rope they can really shine.
 
For bread (incl rolls & buns) and for tomatoes I prefer a nice sharp plain edge - it just works better. I only prefer a serrated edge to a blunt plain edge, blunt edges suck, so: sharp edge>serrated edge>blunt edge. I think it is better to learn to sharpen than to use serrated edges.
 
Depends on the serrations. Some companies do it right, most don't. As for an outdoors knife, you don't really want serrations, unless your'e cutting a lot of rope. An Esee 3 mil is small enough, I wouldn't want it serrated, and lose even more useful blade.
 
Love Spyderco serrations, like already said great for stuff like rope and plastic. Everything else I prefer plain edge.
