When Using a Serrated Blade Would Have Been Better . . .

[sgt1372]

I don't normally boost links from Twitter but I thought this video was an excellent example of when the use of serrated blade would have been better:

More correctly, this should be titled "When using a sharp knife would have been better"....

Aw yisss, a normal knife does the job but the feeling of the serrations destroying rope/nets is a a special one

Bread is clearly the only answer.

Actually I think this is a situation where a swayback would have been the best option, even though none of them that I know of are serrated...

Use what you have?

Know how to use what you have?

They are knife dudes, definitely.

Probably wished they had something serrated too.

If he'd pulled out a Cold Steel Voyager XL, the baby sealion would have just said "Hey, we don't want any trouble here" and thrown him its wallet.

It looks like a good time to have a hook knife though and preferably serrated, but good on them for doing the right thing.

I hear baby seal is good eating....

 

[FearDoiteain]

Honestly, the old Benchmade 10 hook would probably be great for that.

Been talking to polar bears again, haven't you?

slicing bread is about the only use I have for a serrated blade

I use a serrated knife when cutting heavy rope (1" or thicker). It's just easier.

I prefer a serrated edge when cutting bait for fishing. Its a much easier task with teeth.

This Dexter Russell 10" bread knife has become my favorite overall knife in the kitchen. Bread, meat, squash, tomatoes you name it, effortless. It's also a helluva mayonnaise knife being so long it gets all the way to the bottom of the jar.

I don't prefer a serrated blade for any task, especially cutting line / rope. I have a few partially serrated and even a fully serrated model, but I do not favor them.

Bye Turtle, old Buddy.

That buck sheath sure looks well conditioned.

I do landscaping professionally. A serrated Spyderco is great for pruning flowers and plants. It cuts way longer in dirty conditions than a plain edge too. Also makes a great sod cutter.

I do prefer a serrated knife for rope, cordage and other fibrous materials. While not overly difficult to sharpen, I do not enjoy sharpehing serrated edges.

For cheese, tomatoes, onion, food prep generally and many other tasks I will admit that I prefer a (sharp) plain edge - perhaps even a little "toothy."

Had a nice Socom few yrs back had a 50/50 serrated blade ~ It's a nice compromise and sure would cut the crap out of anything * Leaving a nasty Jagged Result of course ~ Gotta Love It
