Could anyone tell me why the serrations on many knives are scalloped from the left hand side ( benchmade & spyderco) and from the right hand side on other knives ( leatherman) ?


 
Rick Shultz of Mission knives wrote an article about this and it stated that: Generally the serrations are on the presentation side of the blade. companies like MISSION put the serrations so that one is cutting INTO the serrations not with the serrations. Axis of using right hand turns blade inwards and with serrations on right side of blade one uses the serrations by turning into them. there is a presentation side of the blade and in most knives this has the serrations. Both ways cut.
 
Thanks for the Info..I have been wondering this for quite some time
