Uses for serrated blade pocket knife?
What are some cutting tasks where a serrated blade would be a better choice than a plain blade? What are the advantages of a serrated blade? In a utility context. Obviously there are bread knives and steak knifes for their own respective purposes. But when using my plain bladed pocket knives, I can't think of a situation where I've ever thought "hey, a serrated blade could do this better". Discounting the tendency of plain blades to go dull, are there any ways in which serrated blades are superior?
What a juvenile answer =/
In forty years of trekking and wild camping the only knives I've used are a small standard issue Army pocket knife and sometimes a small thick spined kitchen knife.
Desert, jungle, mountain and moorland, swamps and green pastures, all the same.
The best serrated tool to have with you is a folding pruning saw from a garden shop.
It works for what it's made for. It cuts wood very well. Not the macho image eh?
Better to live well than to try doing silly survival stuff with knives that don't help much.
Serrated blades are more for show than for usefulness.
They help to sell knives to wannabee survival fools, but they are very useful for bread knives if you ever bake a loaf in your biscuit tin oven over a fire in a deep pit and want some thin sliced pretty sandwiches from it.
It's easier to make flatbreads. They cook quicker too. Couple of minutes for thin ones.
Two of them together make a right good man sized sandwich.
Proper macho stuff with a pile of freshly cooked meat from your latest kill in it.
Natives in the jungle don't bother with all the survival stuff.
They live there OK anyway.
If your blades get dull buy a diamond knife shapener from a sell-everything shop for a dollar or two. It'll last a lifetime.
Link on here for what they look like and more knife and tool stuff for the great outdoors.

O....that biscuit tin oven. Good kit. Giggle on here, light hearted but true, and the serious outdoor cooking stuff on the link in it.
Including deep fried moths. Now that's native living. Don't need knives for those.
Have fun.
