So far I've only found two uses for serrated knives, and in these two cases they do excel.
1. Cutting hemp type rope.
2. During field dressing, separating ribs from a breastbone on a deer.
For these two reasons I carry a fully serrated folder. I don't use it for anything else because it's a PITA to sharpen.
Saws are for wood.
When it comes to pointy knives, I like a point on my folder. Handy for a lot of detail work.
I do prefer more "belly" on my larger knives and would sacrifice the point for a rounder tip. Most of the time, I find you are working with either the belly of the edge or the first 2-3" of the blade, so that point is hanging out there for you to keep track of.
If we are talking tactical use knives, that would be a whole 'nother discussion. I'm a slicer, not a poker.
