Hey Storm, Welcome Aboard!!
I carried a Spyderco for years and found their serrated blades did very good. You might find the DMT diafold stone (the one shaped like an ice pick) does a great job on keeping these blades razor sharp.
Since I almost always keep my blades very sharp I have changed to a regular blade to get around the limitations of the serrated blade for EDC. I have done wood work and fuzz sticks with mine but would rather have a plane blade. I will admit that if you don?t do much sharpening the serrated blade will allow you to saw through some materials long after I would have put the stone to mine.
