Thread: Knives with both serated and smooth blades.

hunting n fishing are giving away a gerber with just that blade AGAIN this year...I had two..gave one to mate for his SAR pack and I kept the other but ground out the serations...I BELIEVE it has its origins in rescue work as they are awesome for the likes of seatbelts or rope..I have added them with a chainsaw file to cheap knife years back for just that reason..but agree for normal work you just have shorter usable blade.

hah after giving a baler driver a hand remove nearly a complete round bale using one what an exercise in bloody frustration- a hour of damn hard yakka cutting it out in pieces - for the farming types what had happened was the kicker had somehow got in front of the bale instead of lying flat underneath it - and that baler we could not use a strop to get it out as we normally would
