US Army selected also the half-serrated type of OneHandTrekker....

Obviously the US Army experts found a good reason selecting a blade with serrations...
As a retired medic I can see a need for an SE knife but, for most people and most situations, a plain edge is more practical, IMHO. I even own a couple of serrated knives. A Spyderco Rescue is one of them and the other is a full size Griptilian with a combo edge. I will admit, there are plans to replace the blade in the Grip this year.I used to have a couple of serrated edged (SE) in my EDC rotation. Whenever I carried SE, there were often moments I wished I had brought a plain edged (PE) instead. When I carry a PE, I have never wished I had brought a SE instead. So I quit SE blades for EDC and carry PE exclusively...never looked back.
