So what I've had for the last 45 years is a "pocket carry" that's
always there (except on airplanes). Currently I use one of these:

Serrated knives are a pain in the ass to keep razor sharp IMO. Good to
use and throw away when they get dull. About as easy to sharpen as a
cross cut saw.

I use a round DMT diamond "stone" and finish with a paper wheel.
Works just fine. Its probably not quite as good as the factory edge,
but pretty close. Of course, you can order the Boye with no
serrations, but I've used mine for two years now, and I still think
they are a bonus, even though I can't shave with it. BTW, the Boye
serrations are pretty mild compared to SpyderCo knives, which are
rather aggressive.
