I like having both so i will take a knife with both half&half blade for the reason i was in the wood's once and had to cut small branhes to start the fire to stay warm i forgot my hatchet the only way i could cut these branches is with my serrated part of the knife it saved us because i was able to get the branches cut to make the fire.what is you all thoughts on this subject? did any body else have a experience like this?

    I agree with Halicon and Hog. I don't own a serrated knife and don't want one. If I want something with a serrated edge I'll use a saw. Stephen, if you are having trouble sharpening a knife? Practice!

    Don, I preferred that way too when I was younger but the species here in Sweden are so insanely springy that you literally fly away as if it was a trampoline. And if it's not that the wood is frozen solid and you end up with a sore foot, ahh the good old days of bandaged feet and twigs bent 360 degrees before you furiously manage to snap it while falling down lol

    Did I ever mention that I hate the weather in Sweden? :)

     

    They make really nice whips though, always fun to gang up on the first one to fall asleep at the camp. I have thought about drugging the water supply more than once just to get a good nights rest, but the next time you end up assaulting some poor guy anyway having completely forgotten how you hate the payback when you fall asleep yourself.
