is the larger serrated part sharp enough to cut branches? Thanks

If you are refuring to the serrations on top, then yes, depending on the branch, if its anything under two inches, I would not bother using it. But if it is more, then yes, it is quite capable of it. I found that it works as a sort of saw. It can also be used to wrap a survival cord securely inbetween the teeth and through the openings along the knife, which are placed just right as to not weaken the knife. Hope this helped.

Maybe small branches, but it's not the sharpest knife so I would spend a little more and get a better one

Yes it is. Its very sharp, I used it to cut my grass installment for my front and back yard

yes.. it has a heavy front blade it's very good for chopping down small trees.you have the saw on on the back what is better for bigger trees .plus the handle is counterbalanced for the weight of the front so it doesn't feel like you have a heavy blade.plus you have the hook on that so who knows if you do with that.all in all it's a good knife.I bought that one for my buddy that works on Mount Hood .said he'd love that !!#)

Yes. It's very finely serrated, and shows more when the knife lies with the blade to the left instead of the right.

The top half of the blade is serrated, the bottom half is sharp like a normal knife. The weight balance is great :)

I had to look up images of the summer sweet before I could answer this question.From the pictures it appears that you should have no problems. I have used this saw to cut down over 2" thick branches.

One side of the blade is serrated the other side is smooth and sharp. I own two of them. Excellent, multi-task gardenning tool.

The main blade is not serrated. It is a straight blade. You will love this knife.

Not sure if this is going to help you, but we've been using the 12" blades sold at Amazon to trim branches, and they've been perfect. So far, we haven't bent or broken a blade!

I believe further back the blade is serrated. Unfortunately I can't double-check since I mislaid it and haven't been able to find it. Sorry.

Yes, it is. But the serrated part never gets dull. Amazingly it holds good sharpness for a good 5 years.

Yes, it has a serrated knife slot, although I have not used it yet. If you are buying it for scissor sharpening don't- it breaks fairly quickly.

Yes. There is a fine, and very effective, serrated edge to these excellent knives.

I've cut trees as wide as 10" across with this. On a bigger tree like that it's slower, but it makes the cuts fine. Make sure you keep the chain sharp for best results.

Definitely! It's razor sharp. I've cut through plastic with it. I prefer the straight edge but if you feel that you may get more from the serrated edge, go for it!

Yes, they are serrated and very sharp. I'm very happy with this product. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. I hope my answer helps you to make your decision. Have a good one.

I have cut branches that thick, but it was difficult--especially if you have to reach a long distance. Having said that, understand that I am 74 years old. The 9301 can do the job.
