Roy, I honestly have to say that I'm a little concerned for you. It seems as though you have some sort of preoccupation with me and what I say on here. For anyone that reads that thread, being able to sharpen your knife has nothing to do with being an elitist. It's about an attitude, which you're displaying right now. Roy, you have no idea how old I am, how many animals I have trapped, and what methods I may have used. Why do you say these things without finding out the facts, and instead making personal jabs and casting aspersions on my character? You open yourself up to ridicule when you do this.
As far as serrations, I will gladly challenge you to outcut them with your plain edge knife. As mentioned in the thread over in general, we will cut things like large zip ties, electrical cord, burlap, and small PVC pipe. There will be no chopping, slashing, batonning, or hacking, just straight cutting. One hand on the handle, no sharpening, and we cut till you can't cut anymore. Do you really believe that a plain edge knife can do that as long as a serrated knife?
And again with the whole being born before me thing, all that tells me is that I will probably be alive after you're gone. I still don't understand what you cutting arrows in an emergency room has to do with the OP's student, and her successful deadfall trap.
