Chaosmagnet -- I meant sawing as in serration, for getting through tough material, like rope. But it seems a lot of "combo" blades have the serrated part near the handle, where I would want the regular blade to be for control.
Gotcha.
I've changed my tune over the years regarding serrated blades. I'm not convinced that they offer a big enough advantage for cutting things like rope and webbing to offset how hard they are to keep sharp, particularly in the field.
Since switching away from serrated blades I haven't seen a significant reduction in cutting ability as a consequence.
