I dig hammocks.
Murray Carter is back in the USA after many years in Japan, his stuff may be more attainable. 

Well I use it for cutting rope. A serrated edge will keep it's sharp longer cutting rope. Though like Paul said a well sharpened standard edge will fly through rope & some other materials faster it wont do it as many times in my experience.I'm curious what people like serrations for other than cutting turf and bread.
