EDGE CHOICES:
Straight edge

Traditional look with large cutting edge. Suitable for all uses but blade must be sharpened regularly if the knife is used frequently.

Serrated edge

Serrations improve cutting ability although they are not suitable where an accurate cut is required such as when skinning.For this reason most blades are a combination of serrated and straight to give the advantages of both blade types.
Serrated edges cut quickly through car safety belts and ropes.

FINISH CHOICES:

Satin
The traditional high-gloss, polished blade finish.

Coated
An extremely hard, thin ceramic coating such as boron carbide is applied to the blade to give added protection from corrosion. It also eliminates glare and so is useful in hunting or in military applications.
