Since I live in a rural area I prefer semi serrated edges for farm work.

[JackZeroZ]

I had a combo knife for years, I've only encountered situations where I wish the plain edge was longer. That said, the serrated edge does stay sharp much much longer, but it might be because I rarely used it. I got the combo for "what if" situations, but I can confidently say that the "what if" situation never occurred for the past 8 years, and I never had to cut ropes or belts.

I've been carrying a pocket knife for nearly 40 years and not one single time while using my knife have I thought to myself, "damn I wish this thing was serrated." I like a straight edge that can be sharpened easier and if it's sharp it will cut through most anything a pocket knife is intended to cut through.

I prefer plain edge. I get the overall idea of having a tough portion that can shear through tougher material and not having to worry if it's dulled over time with use. On the daily I don't encounter anything that would dictate using a serrated edge. I keep any blade in my pocket as razor sharp as I can get it. I'm pretty obsessive with keeping them like that.

Plain edge if you’re a person (like me) who keeps their knives sharp. The only time I could see serrated being useful is if you literally needed to saw something with a hard/rigid surface, like a stick or vinyl cord. Other than that, serrated causes problems when it “snags” while cutting

[vicclementi]

I think your best statement of the video was that it’s more important to have a blade on you than to argue. Back-and-forth of whether serrated or straight blade is more important video.

The only application for a plain edge I can think of is for cutting cheese.
I tried using a Kershaw Barricade as my EDC, but the smooth blade was useless for cutting some things.

I like the duel edged with half n half on a big fixed blade very versatile

[Sparrows]

I always used serrated, so when I don’t have it… It’s just weird.

[DeconstructedWithJosh]

Great video. EDCd a combo blade for a long time and definitely prefer a plan full straight edge more.

[doncraft]

Well stated, you really helped me very much, Thank you

I had to cut through an inch thick oak dowl once with my Gerber combo DPSF because it was all I had with me. Try that with a plain edge.

[COBALT_iLLADELPH]

I think to cut quicker through a blanket a rope zip tie or jean material or a jacket to get to an emergency a serrated blade is always better to have just in case.. I love otf microtech with a full serrated and a full plain side.

[Dragon-Slayr]

The vertical jagged blade is long because it's an iconic long blade because it's yellow and red in colour

[chrisnewport]

Serrated Enduras for emergency quick cuts.

[mattconklin]

I've always tried to have a partial serrated blade 🤷🏼‍♂️ they help to cut thick vines from trees

[wommsor]

I like the comparisson You Made between serrated and plain, but I think you should give a chance to tanto blades. I like to have a nice plain edge with me as an EDC,

[matthewrendle]

Serrated is always better than non serrated edge

[mattconklin]

I really would like a 9400 but I might get a 5700sbk because of the serrations

[jamesdean]

Carry one of each, that's what I do if I'm hiking or something where I'm gonna need a knife possibly
