I don't know about other companies designs but i really liked the way Kershaw serrated their blades. I had them on a Blur i picked up. Very sharp and made it easy to do up close detailed slicing with a shorter stroke. And like HD said it made quick work of anything with strands. Lasered right through packing straps like nothing.

I'm a Kershaw fan and would love to have at least one of every one of those recurve blades. the 0350 and the 0200 are high on the "to buy" list. My blur gets the job done just fine for now though.
