I changed my mind on which Spyderco model to get. Instead of the Endura I'm considering the Delica because of a more versatile form factor for urban EDC applications.

Now I can't decide if the blade should be straight edge or half serrated (combo). One would think some serrations would help in slicing through fibrous material like ropes and especially seatbelt webbing more quickly but after reading the A. G. Russell Serrated vs. Plain article I'm asking myself if the serrations on the combo Delica would be really useful (my local store only stocks Delicas plain edge or combo edge). On a 2-inch blade, there is only about 1-inch of serrations so I wonder if it would be just a waste of cutting edge area.

Did anybody compared a Delica combo with a plain edge one and tested it on seatbelt webbing to see if there is any significant difference?

Thank you
