When I worked in Alaska all the guys on our siene boat wore the serrated SpiderCo knives on their suspenders of thier slickers. I like the non-pointed knives because you rarely use the point of a knife and having the point in any emergency situation its more likely to end up in you. I worked for years as a meat cutter and I can't think of a knife chore where I used the point of my knife. The woman in this vid looks like she's doing fine with a knife with no point. Mike
