I personally don't like serrations one bit, for one thing a pain too sharpen (that’s why spyderco made there sharpener) nope still a pain. they don't do anything better then a plain blade, well maybe make a more nasty wound in an attacker and cut bread. And whittling is more difficult. As far as cutting thru seatbelts I don’t have a lot of experience with serrations , but haven’t had any problems with a plain blade that was properly sharpened. And a good quality knife sharpened properly will stay shape for quit some time.


Oops ,I think I was ranting. My apologies.
