Serrations do definitely have a psychological effect in a fight...they just look like they're gonna hurt lol.
 
I only like serrations on my dry wall saw, cuts like a charm and takes a year to get them dull, after that I throw it away.
I dont know a good method to sharpen the serrations on a knife blade, so to me they are useless.
 
It depends on the style of serration. The kind that hangs up and gets snagged suck! but the Veff serration on the CRKT's are great so are the "rounded" serrations that Kershaw makes :)
 
Its too bad the partial serrations are always down low on the blade. If there was a small section of plain before the serattions that would be nice
 
I dont like serrations, but i have knives that are

Good serrations, rounded so they dont snag on things as much as pointy ones do
But way more important they are on Right side of blade, not left
this help no end in cutting. I am right handed and cut most things like rope away from my self.
I mean not draw cut.

Leatherman Charge
Same as above, grind on right side for me

CRKT M16-14sfg
Veff Serrations
Wrong side grind for me but good anyway
Wide spacing mean they lock in, kinda like 4 little guthooks
Easy to sharpen
 
When backpacking folder is a Spyderco Ladybug serrated. Fixed blade is a Becker Necker plain blade. Just received the new pack, utility, whittling knife. A plain blade Helle Fjelkniven. If limited to a knife it would be a plain blade or combo blade with only a very short segment of serrated.
 
I love that Alaskan Buck. For me a plain blade does the job. But to each his own. I do have a tiny little Chinese made Frost Cutlery knife that is serrated that I found in the crack at end of sofa under cushions after a party one time.
 
Serrations only for rope/line cutting, and self- defense knife. Can slice through clothing like leather/denim with less force, I think.
 
I really have no idea, I like to have the SE for "just in case " reasons. I carry a Gerber fairbairn applegate. it's pretty much half and half, that is the blade is 50% SE and 50% PE, I find myself using the SE very often.
 
Serations are useless.

I have found it just as easy if not easier to cut cord and rope with a very sharp plain edge. On the big stuff I use a baton.
 
serrations great for cord .rope. no good for meat. skinning.cardboard.you can put saw edge with blue diamond or red india cut rope almost as fast ;straight edge.
 
If all I cut were rope, I might think serrations would be a good thing ... maybe. Then again, having cut rope in the past, I might just go for a plain edge sharpened with a relatively course stone. It's always worked for me, even on wet rope.

Despite inflation, some peoples opinions are still only worth .02 cents, but that's mine.
 
I like Plain ole' edge. No serrations. Serrations have a place for cutting certain types of breads, rope, meat, etc .... But in my daily use of a knife in the Kitchen or out 'n about. I like a plain edge.
