Combo blade knives

Combined

— blades that combine two types of sharpening on one cutting edge — smooth (usually closer to the tip) and serrated (closer to the handle). The advantages and disadvantages of each individual type are described in the corresponding selection points. Here we note that such a design makes the knife quite versatile: depending on the situation, you can choose which type of sharpening to use. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the rather high cost of such blades, as well as their own problem of jagged edges — the difficulty in sharpening.
