Any opinions?

From what I've read, the Gerber ASEK II was what the US Army Air Force went with after they found an issue with the OKC ASEK. Personally though, I would almost never use the serrated edge for anything aside from cutting metal like a tin can. Seeing as how I use my knives primarily for bushcraft, and I have a survival saw, I would prefer that the serrations was on the spine of the blade so that I have a full length blade for batoning, cutting and shaving things. Considering this, I think that the OKC ASEK is a better knife than the Gerber. This is of course personal preference.
