Been thinking of getting my first nice knife. I currently rock the Ontario Rat 1, really it because it’s a nice beater and has a serrated side. I don’t think nice tanto knives have serrated side but I’m willing to compromise since they look so nice.

The kershaw one looks good but that steel looks a bit low quality. Feels like it won’t hold its edge. The zero tolerance, can’t find that anywhere. As for fixed blades, I’m looking for folders.
I find that 8Cr is perfectly acceptable for a working knife. High end supersteels like S35VN or M4 may be “better,” sure, but they’re also mostly going to be outside of your stated budget.
I have one of almost every Kershaw CQC variant, including both the 8Cr and D2 versions of the ones that come in both. I have had no problems whatsoever.
Is there one similar to that but with a partially serrated blade?
Well, the Emerson CQC-7BW leaps to mind but that one is also outside of your budget. I can’t think of any other Wave openers off the top of my head with both a tanto point and half serrations.
The CRKT M16 is available in a tanto+serrated option, as is the Kershaw Blur for some more budget friendly, but known brand options. I’m really not a fan of half serrated blades so I have limited input, there.
Well I don’t really need wave openers just for it to be tanto and preferably serrated.
Just found this wave adapter mod, seems pretty cool, thought you might like it if you didn’t know of it already. Currently the recon 1 tanto half serrated knife is at the top of my list.
