Why does it had a serrated edge on the top and bottom
The serrations on the top of the blade are technically referred to as jimping. It's for better grip for your thumb when handling the knife. I'm sure that if you really wanted to, you could use the jimping to saw a groove into a piece of wood.
The serrations on the sharp part of the blade can be much more effective at slicing through various things than the straight edge.
When I'm slicing tomatoes at home I prefer a fully serrated knife as I find it does a much better job then a straight edge knife. Same with bread.
This model comes in a full straight edge or partially serrated variety. Also a tanto variety but I opted for the drop point. It all boils down to personal preference, but I find serrations on a knife to be very useful.
I guess I'll be taking this puppy with me whenever I go hiking. I have a really great button activated auto-open blade from the Kershaw brand.. problem with that one is sometimes when it's in my pocket it opens up without me realizing it. I stuck my hand in my pocket to reach for something other than the knife and ended up slicing myself before. Which is why I decided to purchase this fixed blade knife. Just strap that thing to my waist and go.
But really the reason why I initially started buying knives is I've almost been attacked by dogs three or four times. I don't want to hurt an animal but if one chomps down on my arm or leg.. let's just say that knife is coming out.
Interesting I take it this is an outdoorsman type knife
Also if you have a really good sharp knife you get the best slices for tomatoes. I've taken a few cooking classes and learned. Best was a baking class the pastry chef sliced a loaf of bread and tomatoes all the same perfect thickness. It was spectacular to watch. I'm a nerd1 -
