I note that there are a few newbies voting for sawteeth. I think that it is very important that you realize that the sawteeth on RMKs do not have an offset. They are not intended for cutting wood and making clean cuts. Without the offset, the sawteeth can bind on deeper cuts and will make a gosh-awful mess. Other than as an emergency ripping tool, it is my personal opinion that sawteeth serve no purpose on an outdoor knife. Of course, opinions vary.....
