hehehe 

I remember reading somewhere that the sawteeth on the back of
"Rambo" knives started out as a feature meant for hacking one's 
way out of a crashed aircraft. The cheaper knife manufacturers 
copied it but now promote them as saws for tree liimbs and such. 
Wonder why you don't simply use the front edge of the knife to
do the same thing in a fraction of the time.
