Can you sharpen serrated edge knives?

The DMT WM8FC-WB 8-Inch DuoSharp is not well-suited for sharpening serrated blades. One of the DMT tapered-rod sharpeners would be much more efficient in sharpening a serrated blade. Sharpening serrated blades is very time consuming, but it can be done if you are patient and focused.

I have never (and wouldn't) try to sharpen a serrated edge with a sharpener that takes away metal from the edge. A serrated blade requires a special rod sharpener. I do not recommend the diamond sharpener, it will damage your blade.

You can probably come close to semi-sharpening the peaks. To truly sharpen a serrated knife, you'll need a round file, or a round object that is able to get into the grooves and remove metal. Typically sharpening serrated knives is a losing effort. I've read a lot about people that will buy cheap serrated knives and basically treat them as disposable, but they shouldn't wear out that quickly, at least from my experience. In fact often times the knives that are sold as "never dull" are a little if not completely serrated. If it is a collector's type knife, I'd recommend leaving it as is and getting a cheaper one for everyday use. If you're going to do a combo blade (pocket knife or other blade that is partially serrated), this will work for the part that is not serrated. I've never used the following product but DMT does make a serrated knife sharpener - DMT FSKF Diafold Serrated Knife Sharpener.

Have used it on my Henckel 4 star knives and found it gives a nice top edge. Though professional sharpening would be required for a full sharpening of the curved edge surface.

Not really. You could sharpen the flat side if you use a very low angle. The scalloped side would need a rod type sharpener

Yes they are serrated. They work fine however while they look fine in and of themselves, they do look "added" to the sets other knives. Perhaps this is intentional as the other knives are not going to be "placed" on the table. After woning this knive set the best thing I can say is that I would buy it again. Overall a good value. If you buy the set also invest in a quality sharpener for both the serrated steak knives as well as the other knives and this set should last you a long time and give you good service.

Yes - You use but it needs be done very carefully and slowly and on an angle (I am presuming that your edge id on one side of the knife). I would use it only a few times - less that you would for a normal knife. I only other way to do a serrated edge knife is to buy the Right size round fine file and do each grove 1 by 1 - it takes a lot of time and skill to the right angle for every groove. Most Home cooks would get it wrong and end up with an uneven blade. Hope that helps.

Like the others have said the bread and four steak knives are the only serrated ones, all others are not. Serrated knives work best for slicing by means of moving back and forth as non-serrated knives are made to slice through food by chopping down, leaving a nice clean cut (as serrated can leave a rough torn-up cut). I love these knives and how sharp they are, although I'd never try to sharpen mine without a whetstone.

Manufacture claims "they never need sharpening" but they provide a sharpening rod. I would stand the rod on end with the tip on the counter. Then gently draw the knife blade down the rod at about a 20 degree angle for each side of the blade. See how that works for you. I am by no means an expert on this.

No. Sharpening involves shaving off pieces of metal. Pulling a serrated edge through this would wear out the serration. This is especially true of the THIN cheaply-made Miracle Blades. There simply isn't much metal to shave off before the scalloped serration is flattened.Miracle Blade claims that their knives never needs sharpening, which generally means you can't sharpen them.

Depends on what you mean. Sharpening a knife means taking off metal. If you take off metal in a straight line, you're going to eventually remove the serrated edge completely. You'll still have a knife, it just won't be serrated. Actually sharpening a serrated knife means individually working on each little serration - it's a lot of work, and this isn't the tool for it.

Mine does not work on serrated edges. I think there are some others that do.

yes, the knife has a serrated edge. I bought this for my daughter for her wedding.

The instructions for serrated knives are a bit different than for a normal straight edge. Most Serrated knifes have a beveled side and a flat side. Only sharpen the flat side with the finest grit belt. I haven't tried this yet but I don't see any reason why it won't work

They are not serrated and I don't believe they need sharpening. Maybe way down the road they may need it. I have had mine for a few months now and love them. Sharp knives make cooking so much nicer.

You cant sharpen these knives, Use them as directed. Don't use counter tops or other hard surfaces to cut, use a cutting board, wood or plastic, this will keep the edge longer. take care of them and they will last for a long time.. NO WAY TO SHARPEN BY THE OWNER

Yes you can. The sloped edge of ceramic is the main sharpener for serrated knives. One can also use the diamond rod, if the serration needs a more aggressive approach.

if you read the description it says they are serrated. I don't think you can sharpen serrated blades.

Nope and we have serrated knives. I was surprised but the knives that comes with the Chicago Cutlery set are the BEST we've ever had and they even top our serrated knives. No idea why. But they do. Even tough steaks (occasionally we overcook them) can be sliced easily.

Yes. Use the stationary third non-rotating sharpening stone for serrated blades.
