The next question is whether you want your knife serrated or fine edge. Serrations are the little sections taken out of the blade. The remainder of the section is sharpened to increase leverage of the blade and the blade can cut more with the same force applied. Fine edge is where the blade has no serrations and has a smooth razor sharp edge all along the blade.

In the newer survival knives, the blade is half serrated and half fine edged. So the knife is suitable for mixed jobs.
