To expand on the issue, I like the profile of the Ka-Bar much better. It is suited to how I like to sure a blade. For example, sometimes I like to push on the back of the blade to get more leverage when cutting fruits and vegetables, you can't do this with a sawback. Plus, the profile of the Ka-Bar just allows it to slide through things much easier while cutting. And I like my sharpened clip point. YMMV.
