Around a decade ago Wenger made some SAKs with serratted blades. I have quite a few of their SAKs.I've carried a Wenger Swiss Army Commander almost 40 years. It's versatility can't be beat. I augment it with a Spyderco Delica with a fully serated blade for bigger jobs, tougher material than a straight blade can cut thru efficiently. I have many others, all good quality, but these two go with me pretty much every day.
