Welcome!

I would definitely not have a combo edge (partially serrated). I don't see on Knifecenter.com that there is a plain edge version. Personally, I would pass on any Gerber. I have owned plenty enough of them to say they don't hold a good enough edge. I would go to Doug's page on fixed blade selections and take a look at what he recommends if I were you.
