Emergency personnel and industrial workers that have a need for cutting fibrous or tough materials. Sure, and I forgot about my dive-knife. That one is double edged. One plain edge and one serrated edge... Comes in real handy when taking off the head of a fish. And it would come in REAL handy if ever caught in a net under water. That would apply as a survival situation... Having only one pancake, leaves more room for bacon! JYD#174 "Rasmutt"
