Yes, it has a serrated knife slot, although I have not used it yet. If you are buying it for scissor sharpening don't- it breaks fairly quickly.

Lansky sharpener will do the job on the non serrated part, I have never had to sharpen the serrated edge on mine. If you mail the knife back to benchmade with 5 dollars for return postage they have a lifetime sharpening service and will put a factory edge on it for you.

Yes and no. You can use the manual honing slot for honing the tips on the serration without risk of ruining the knife. You could also sharpen a serrated knife in the grinding slots, but that will eat a little of the serration each time, and after x number of sharpenings, the serration will have disappeared.

I have sharpened a partially serrated pocket knife on this sharpener however I have found that it really does not do a good job on any serrated knife.

FYI... here is what Wusthof said: Hi, Serrated edge knives actually never need to be sharpened. The way the blades are made, the part that needs to stay sharp never hits a cutting surface so it should not ever go dull. Using a serrated edge knife on the 2904-7 knife sharpener would damage it, so I do not recommend trying it. Regards, Lauren info@wusthof.com Wusthof-Trident Inc 333 Wilson Avenue Norwalk, CT 06854

No! Put this question to rest. The simple fact is that you cannot hone a serrated edge on a sharpening steel. Not only will it not sharpen the knife, you will probably ruin your ceramic hone. But, hey, as a professional knife sharpener, that's just my opinion.

I don't believe it does a very good job on serrated knives. I wouldn't use it on Cutco.

The blade is serrated and very sharp. I use it to fillet fish and it easily cuts through rib bones. I am not aware of a tool for sharpening serrated knives.

Yes, it does. I have used it to sharpen serrated and non-serrated blades and it does an equally good job with both.

Aloha... it takes a LOT of passes to sharpen the serrated knife, but it does help. Even though I only cut bread with my serrated knife it still got dull, and the sharpener brought it back - but as I said, it takes more time than other blades.

absolutely! The Chef's Choice 1520 does a great job on most knifes. Use the honing wheels on your serrated knives, as per the instructions.

No - It comes with a knife that looks like one ! but it does not have a serrated edge. Works on bread though.

Serrated blades are tough. Reality is that only the concave serration side of the blade should have a sharpening surface applied to it. The diamater of this rod is far too large for that application. I'd recommend something with no more than a 3/8 inch diameter for large serrations and something even smaller in diameter for those knives with smaller serrations. Ideally, the diameter of the rod should exactly match the shape of the individual serration. This rod however it GREAT for straight or gently curved blades! Hope this helps!

Yes it does you will use the two far right slots you will need 8-10 swipes. What it does is puts a sharp edge on each of the senates I guess that is the word you would each serrate is sharpened you should just follow directions. The manual warns you to advise everyone you have sharpened knives because if done properly these knives are very sharp. Sharped my son's blades and warned everyone his wife still cut her finger

It is very difficult to sharpen a serrated knife, but because it is called a "cake/bread" knife, and is only meant to cut softer items, it should rarely need to be sharpened. This knife would not do a great job of cutting brisket or other meat. For that you want a carving knife, and you can find a bunch by searching "granton carving knife" on Amazon. Those knives will be much better for the job.
