Used to carry a full serrated Spyderco in my younger days as a purely defensive blade. For the same reason the fellow who gutted his deer with one stated, it’s like a chainsaw. Never got to try that out, thankfully.

Always carried a second plain blade Benchmade as a working knife. Serrated works for one thing. Making wounds that keep bleeding and are extremely difficult to close. For everything else, plain and sharp is the way to go.
