Why don't any of the knifes I've seen posted here have serrated edges? (lemmy.world)

Just wondering. I've carried a couple of pocket knives for the past several years that are probably 40% serrated edge and have found it extremely helpful.

Very rarely do I find myself needing a serrated blade. Every once in a while, when cutting cordage, a serrated blade works a bit better, but with the right grind and a well sharpened knife, a plain edge works for my needs. If I was to get a serrated blade, it would be 100% as a partially serrated blade fails on most tasks.
