The plain portion of a combo edge is shorter than a Swiss Army knife, which isn’t much. For cutting zip ties, use a pair of side cutters. Actually, a really sharp knife cuts the smaller gauge ties pretty easy. If you are cutting them off of something, you usually have to use the tip of the knife, which isn’t serrated anyway. If I really needed a serrated knife, I would buy a plain edge and a serrated edge and carry both. Serrated is also horrible for almost any kind of gutting and skinning.
