Probably you are reading this article now because you are looking for a serrated edge knife, but not just any knife, a pocket knife;

Choosing the best pocket knife with serrations

1. Spyderco Atlantic Salt

A complete serrated knife from Spyderco, the Atlantic Salt includes 4.59 inches of H1 Stainless Steel that offers corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and the ability to hold an edge for a long time, a Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon handle that is both strong and durable, and finally, the ergonomics are excellent. It fits beautifully in the hand with an index choil and thumb ramp for a comfortable grip.

Overall, this knife is an excellent choice for any outdoor activity. In addition to being an EDC item, it can also be used in other situations. This knife is suitable for all cutting tasks (especially cutting rope), so if you are a camper, hunter, or fisherman, this knife is for you. It is made of high quality steel, has an excellent ergonomic design, and is of high quality overall.

Pros:

• A high level of corrosion resistance as well as a high level of wear resistance
• The ergonomics of this product are excellent, and it fits perfectly in the hand
• The blade is extremely sharp and opens smoothly

Cons:

• I found nothing to be negative about this knife, and I would highly recommend it

2. Benchmade – Griptilian 551

In my opinion, the Benchmade Griptilian 551 is a very good alternative. Benchmade is renowned for their perfect designs, and the Griptilian 551 is no exception. This Griptilian 551 knife is equipped with a drop point blade made of high-quality 154CM steel. It provides excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and excellent toughness, and the handle is made from glass-filled nylon, which adds strength and a great look. 

The handle is ergonomic, it has a thump ramp for a comfortable grip, a blade guard at the top of the handle for safety, and finally a manual opening mechanism with AXIS Mechanisme that ensures smooth operation.

At the end, I was unsure whether to choose the G551 or the Atlantic Salt, but in the end, I decided on the G551 based on two factors (or three if we include that the Atlantic Salt is fully serrated while the G551 is semi-serrated), the price and the lack of an index choil, but other than that it is a fantastic knife that I recommend to anyone seeking a beautiful serrated pocket knife.

Pros:

• A design that is attractive
• An ergonomically designed mechanism that opens smoothly
• An ergonomically designed mechanism that opens smoothly

Cons:

• Although somewhat expensive in comparison to other products on the market, I sometimes prefer a lower price to a more expensive product.

3. Kershaw Leek

As for the Leek knife from Kershaw, I cannot remember how many times I have recommended this knife. The Leek is a great knife that comes with a very great price, great quality, and great performance. It has a 3″ drop point blade made of

 For the ergonomics it’s good, fits nicely in the hand, but lacks the premium features like an index choil and a thumb ramp. 14C28N stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, along with good edge retention. It also has a stainless steel handle with an assisted opening system and a reversible pocket clip.

I highly recommend this knife to anyone who is looking for an affordable knife with high-quality steel at an average price. It’s simple, tough, very sharp, and semi-serrated.

Pros:

• A high degree of corrosion resistance and wear resistance
• Good ergonomics and a simple design
• Compared to the value, the price is very reasonable

Cons:

• Is lacking some features that would contribute to a high-quality design (but it is not a serious problem).

4. Spyderco Ladybug 3

The Ladybug 3 Hawkbill serrated edge knife is known for being so tough and lightweight, it has a 1.88 inch blade made from H1 Stainless Steel that offers great corrosion and wear resistance, the handle is reinforced with fiberglass, which adds strength to the knife. An index choil, along with a thumb ramp, both provide the knife with good ergonomics, and let us not forget the hawkbill shape, I personally feel that a hawkbill shape would give the knife more cutting power.

 Now, let’s get back to the knife. I consider this the top choice if you are looking for a small pocket knife. It is lightweight and powerful, and I highly recommend it.

Pros:

• It is a very lightweight and powerful knife
• The material is highly corrosion resistant and wear resistant
• An increased cutting power is provided by the Hawkbill shape blade
• A Benchmade Lifetime Warranty is provided

Cons:

• Users with large hands may not be able to use a knife that is very small

5. Spyderco Tenacious

The Tenacious pocket knife is the perfect option for those who are looking for a thick, heavy, and sharp pocket knife with serrations. 

With a 3.39″ black coated 8CR13MOV stainless steel blade that offers great corrosion resistance and wear resistance, as well as decent edge retention, the handle is made from G-10, adding strength and durability, it features a thumb ramp, a four-way pocket clip and finally, the opening and closing motions are smooth and easy to use.

In terms of ergonomics, I found it very good, it is big, ticks well with a good grip, I would highly recommend it for everyday carry and daily tasks, however, I must remind you that the steel has a low edge retention, so you may need to sharpen it more often than necessary.

Pros:

• An excellent design with excellent ergonomics
• A sturdy handle is attached to a thick blade
• Corrosion and wear resistance is excellent

Cons:

• The edge does not remain sharp for very long.

Final Words

You might hear some negative opinions about serrated edges, that you should choose fine edges instead; however, I am here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with a serrated edge, in fact, 

it might be a better choice for you, as it ultimately depends on your use, for example, outdoor purposes (cutting rope, cutting boxes, batoning, or making fire), apart from the edge shape, make sure to choose the right steel, Some steels prioritise hardness and wear resistance over corrosion resistance, 

while others prioritize hardness and wear resistance over corrosion resistance. If you want to buy a pocket knife, you should always check the laws in your area first, and I’ve included a small serrated pocket knife in this list (the lady bug3) Other than that, I hope I was able to provide some assistance to your shopping experience, and if you have any questions or opinions, please feel free to share them in the comments section below.
