What edge style do you prefer?

[Speedo66]

I prefer the 1/2 & 1/2 because I'm frequently on my boat, and it comes in handy on the lines. I find it's tough to cut synthetic lines with a plain edge.

I don't use a knife much with the exception of cutting cardboard boxes, in which case, either style will do.

LOL!

I was getting ready to vote for "convex" or "appleseed"

 

[Big Bill]

I prefer my edges sharp!

 

[Nursie]

Plain every time

Gotta be plain for me
Serrated tends to tear things and is a PITA to sharpen
Had serrated ones in my earlier days but now all palin - all sharp

Take care

Plain hawkbill for a daily user, but if could only have one blade instead of the 4-5 normally on me, it would a blend of probably 70% plain 30% teeth.

I tend to stick with plain blades. They are much easier to sharpen on the go and use. I always find it annoying for the half and half with the size blades I use at 3 inches or so. It just results in a couple of little knives. My multitool that I usually carry has both plain and serrated blades on it, though I rarely use the serrated blade. My EDC is usually a plain edge Kershaw Blur or Leek and s done everything I asked it to do. My camp knives are also plain edge, being a HI Khurkri or a Rat RC-4.

Serration is no substitute for a high quality, razor sharp blade. Folks have just gotten used to having dull, low-quality blades around so they don't understand what the real thing can do.

 

[hmphargh]

All of my non-kitchen knives are plain edge with the exception of a CRKT Hammond A.B.C. Operator which has serrations on the spine and is a tanto-style blade. It is pretty much everything I hate in a knife normally, but I have come to like it and it is great when I'm at the grill.

 

[Deltaboy1984]

1/2 and 1/2 for my carry knife.

 

[22-rimfire]

I have one fully serrated knife, Spyderco Endura. I have a couple with both which I bought to try out. I won't buy another partially serrated knife.

 

[DAVIDSDIVAD]

I agree with Cosmoline.

While a properly serrated blade does have uses, it is no substitute for a seriously sharp edge.

 

[BruiseLee]

Half serrated with tanto point.

I'm assuming you're not serious.

 

[Kind of Blued]

I always have two knives, one being a SHARP plain edge and the other being a weak-handed "defense" knife. I PREFER for that knife to have serrations.
