Serrated Vs Plain edge

[Bierkameel]

Always plain edge for me, i have a Leatherman XTI with a serrated blade and that's enough for me.

One of each is good Jetblack! Then you can decide what you prefer!

I got the Rc-4 combo, and the Rc-5 plain.... I will be ordering a 3, and 6 as soon as possible, but im not sure which blade I will be getting on those.

Plain, no question. I have a Leatherman too and a folding saw in my hunting pack. If I could only carry one it would be my RC4. PLAIN!

Glad to see you went a SE & PE , both have function and useage in different scenarios. I like the SE at work and PE in the bush. You can sharpen the SE with a standard stone or with a rod ,no specila tools required. I also like to use the serrated portion to strike my firesteel and saves the PE portin from dulling.

yeah, I figured that it would be good to have both.

I completely missed this thread until now, but it looks like the standard answer was given. When in doubt get both. I'm sure you will like all of your new RATs Jetblack :thumbup:

Thanks for poppin in hw, I got the answers I was looking for, but always value your opinion.

Thank you Jetblack I guess someone has to, I think you will like the RAT serrations they can cut straight instead of just tearing material.

So far I love having both serrated and straight on the same blade. It seems to me to be a good all around choice if you are only going to carry one knife

I love sharpening my knifes but hate serations. Most of my knifes are plain edge and very sharp. I understand how the serations can help cutting rope or webbing. All my knifes tactical or otherwise still have to function in a hunting enviroment. I don't see the serations helping much skinning or gutting an animal.
