Why don't any of the knifes I've seen posted here have serrated edges?
Just wondering. I've carried a couple of pocket knives for the past several years that are probably 40% serrated edge and have found it extremely helpful.
They're annoying to sharpen, and a straight edge is plenty for most tasks. I do have some semi-serrated blades that I love, but I carry straight edges 90% of the time.
I went through a brief phase with serrated blades. I quickly found that a sharp “normal” blade was just as effective for 98% of my needs, and was much easier to maintain.
Personally, I don't have any serrated knives because edge maintenance is a bitch and I don't feel like fucking with it. Additionally, I really don't have much cause to use the serrated portion of a blade for an EDC type knife
Very rarely do I find myself needing a serrated blade. Every once in a while, when cutting cordage, a serrated blade works a bit better, but with the right grind and a well sharpened knife, a plain edge works for my needs. If I was to get a serrated blade, it would be 100% as a partially serrated blade fails on most tasks.
