is this knife plain edge or serrated? I am interested in purchasing the nerve in plain edge but I am not sure which one is being sold.

The one I got and reviewed was the plain edge, but the link attached to the question is the serrated.

Well, mine were plain edge. I prefer plain edge to serrated edges...particularly on shorter length blades. RH, California

Serrated without question. I was given an original (series 1) and I also have a series 2. I wish I could find another original, although the two is a great knife as well. ..

I had the same question and worry. I finnaly ordered and got the plain. I think the don't make the force serrated anymore but I could be wrong.

the blade is a solid 3/16ths" thick throughout on flat sides....there is no tang, the blade is a solid piece with the solid steel handle machined out for the storage hollow....it duplicates an earlier Reeve integral down to bit kit inside handle, and the serrated copy his style as well...i do not recommend the serrations

the half serrated tanto has from the tip to half way up the blade a plain sharpened blade from half way bach to pivot the blade has serrations.... just compare the pictures......i like the half serrations blade better because it has the sawing function....i prefer the kershaw f. a. s. t. folder...it's cheaper and has a better finish.... the cold steel knife is overpriced .....CHECK OUT THE GERBER F. A. S. T. FOLDING POCKET KNIVES........GERBER TACTICAL TANTO........REALLY GOOD QUALITY FOLDING POCKET KNIVES.....

the differences is the half serrated will tear and cut through rope or things your trying to open and the plain will just be a plain blade with a tanto point in my personal opinion i prefer the half serrated edge because it makes cutting easier but you will need a diamond rod to sharpen the serrations

Mine is also not serrated.. It works just fine however. With just a bit of practice my edges are nice and clean. I thought the same thing the first time I saw the non serrated edge bit have been using mine regularly for two years and it works great

You can get either drop point or tanto. In drop point you can get either plain edge or combo (1/2 serrated) edge. In tanto style I've only seen combo edge.

They seem to be sending out the serrated 140SBK even though We want the plain edge 140BK that is described here. Requested a replacement and can only get a refund as of 06-25-14. Buy elsewhere I guess?

No, it is not a full tang. It runs out about 1.5 inches away from the butt end of the handle. That being said, unless you are planning on using this thing to beat the living hell out of a rock, I don't think you will have much to worry about. Please let me reiterate a point I made in my review. For the money, this knife is one hell of a deal. I currently have four survival knives: The Gerber Bear Grylls, a Becker BK-2, a Mora and an Ontario Blackbird SK-5. I'm very actively involved in woodcraft/bushcraft. And I really like the Bear Grylls. Now having said that, if I could go back and order something different, I would get the fine blade knife (no serrations). I'm not cutting a lot of rope..so a serration is not something I want. Also, they have a newer version which has not only the fine edge, but also it's full tang construction. It costs a little more money. I think they're about $100 dollars or so. So if full tang is a real priority for you and you want a 3/16" thick one piece survival knife, that's probably how I'd go. Any other questions, just ask. :)

Mine came with a foliage green sheath. I bought the straight blade though, don't have a clue what the serrated one comes with.

Serrated. Which if I knew, I would not have purchased. I prefer sharp non-serrated steel knives.

Thank you for the inquiry, according to Kershaw there is this knife the Kershaw Nerve Fine Edge 3420 and there is the Kershaw Nerve Combo Edge 3420ST. We are offering model 3420 though the picture is of the 3420ST.

i hear they all ship with plain blades since last year. A few people have put that in the reviews that it is in fact a plain blade . SOG stopped shipping then in 2012. Its a great knife . I also like the ZT 170 there are some deals out there for 100 shipped. check it out.

Lansky sharpener will do the job on the non serrated part, I have never had to sharpen the serrated edge on mine. If you mail the knife back to benchmade with 5 dollars for return postage they have a lifetime sharpening service and will put a factory edge on it for you.
