By unique you mean serrated.

It may be serrated, but it's different than any other serrated knife I have used, it cuts well after 25 years and I use it almost daily.

A serrated knife is a saw; saws perform well even when they're not very sharp; a knife, on the other hand, has to be kept sharp to perform well.

I had miracle blades for probably over 10 years - they always were sharp. Then I bought an expensive set of knives (different brands, generic block) - most work great, but the expensive steak knives cut less effectively by far than the miracle blades did. They have a finer serration though.. the miracle blade was not quite the same as other serrated knives I have owned.

It's a funny thing really.. but the miracle blades were actually a really decent investment. : )

You can have serrated saws or knives, or even serrated scissors. Serration does not make it a saw.

What makes it a saw, then, in your view?

I would say it's more around purpose, like taking down a tree, a branch or rope would be the purpose of a saw. They have saw blade knives for smaller beaches or other purposes. Kinda if hard to explain but I think usually you can tell the difference.

I have a neighbor (honest to god) who edged a lawn with a miracle blade. Does that make it a trimmer?

Haha, I believe it, but I would still say no, I would say intended purpose. Maybe your neighbor refers to it as a trimmer.
