This is all mostly correct. Serrated edges cause more tissue damage, but not in a bad way. They cause more tissue damage because the serrationscut more surface area.

That sounds confusing.....Let's try this. Take a straight blade stinger, and a Buzzcut. If you would measure the blade length of the Buzzcut, it would actually be longer than the Stinger. There is more cutting edge on a Buzzcut, or any other serrated blade. Negative tissue damage is caused by a dull blade. It tears instead of cuts. This isn't the same animal. A sharp Buzzer will indeed cause massive blood loss because it cuts more area.
