I disagree with the theory that serrations cut faster than a straight blade. While it may cut differently, if you have a sharp straight blade - you know - scary sharp - it will cut just fine. Yes you are right about that, it seems to me if I'm in a O S%!T situation (like having to cut rope,etc) that I want to have some serrations. I think they would "catch" better on the fiberous material and help you rip it. |

the problem i find with knives that have been sharpened to the point of a razor is that the edge does not last, in a bushcraft/survival situation i dont want to be sharpening my blade every 5 mins, i put a good edge on a blade that will cut well and use a crock stick to keep it then every couple of days back in camp i will clean the edge up properly.
or even better i have my khukri macette wich has a super sharp edge for the first couple of inches from the handle but the belly of the blade has a more robust axe grind that will last well and put up with lots of abuse, that way i can batton with the main part of the blade and make shave sticks with the super sharp portion of the blade
