[QUOTE="excat, post: 2532233, member: 29449"] I haven't met a knife yet of decent quality metal that I can't put to a razor's edge. All my knives will cut rope effortlessly, I just prefer the serrations as it will not kill the edge of serrations as quick like it will a plain blade. It's just like cutting paper with a knife, one of the worst things to do when it comes to maintaining your edge. Will my knife cut paper, of course, I'd rather use scissors if available than sharpen my knife because I was cutting paper with it. Every time you sharpen a knife it takes life from the blade. As to your bet, yes, of course if you have a razor's edge, it will cut through rope faster than a serrated edge. Serrations aren't meant for slicing, quick or any other precision work, they are made for brute cutting force, like saw teeth. They will cut as efficiently as the force is put behind them. Anyone that would make that bet should lose $20, but I have to say, that's a damn expensive 12 pack. [/QUOTE]
