After following the directions for serrated knives to the letter, I can't tell any difference. Any hope/tips for serrated knives?

Unlike the other knives, the difference for serrated knives was hardly noticeable -- but I only have one and did not particularly care.

use the #2 stone. If knife is really dull it may take several passes maybe 6.

I have used the Trizor 15 on serrated knives. Like you, I couldn't tell much difference. However, I think it sharpens only the tips of the blade. Also, it seems that if one were to sharpen a blade over a long period of time, the serrations would eventually wear away. Only a few of my knives are serrated so it's not a big deal to me. I don't have any tips to offer but I hope you still have use for the device.

Can't help you. Don't use serrated knives. Can tell you the Trizor made all my other knives dangerously sharp!

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.

Yes this does work on serrated knives. Smooth knives on one side serrated on the other.

I had the same question and worry. I finnaly ordered and got the plain. I think the don't make the force serrated anymore but I could be wrong.

Even though I have never been in a knife fight, I would suspect the serrated blade would. Because the high points on the serration meet the object first, there will be more pressure per area available at these high points. This will allow the serration to puncture and tear the object easier. Thanks, Glen from CampingStuff

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.

Hey Christine, Sorry but I won't be much help. I bought those knives for someone else. I'll ask them and see if they could let me know. Good Luck and Happy Holidays

The one I received was serrated and I wanted the straight edge I contacted the seller and the serrated was the last one he had. I kept it for 130.00 dollars I can't complain. The knife is top quality.

Sharpening serrated blades is not usually possible at home. If your knife is still working, get new blades. If it is VERY old get a complete new set. Also, avoid using the blades on bone. That will dull them. Use a boning knife to slice meat fom the bone

They are serrated but mainly on one side of the knife-the effect makes the knife very minimally serrated overall but they cut everything awesome. We use them for steak all the time. We really like these knives. Hope this helps!!!

Have not tried with serrated knives.In theory, I could see it doing it. For a while.Eventually, the metal edge of the blade would wear away; passed the indentures of the serrations and you'd have a smooth edge.There is an abrasive wheel within the device that grinds away at the metal surface.Other reviewers may be in the early stages.What if it takes a hundred years to wear passed the serrations?!:)It is a great sharpener. You should feel comfortable buying this one.Good luck!

serrated blades can be sharpened. Just get a Diamond sharpener for serrated blades. I got mine at Lowe's

kjm said the directions say it will work on serrated edge knives. Is there any kind of a guarantee if the sharpener ruins it?

Well, mine were plain edge. I prefer plain edge to serrated edges...particularly on shorter length blades. RH, California

The one I got and reviewed was the plain edge, but the link attached to the question is the serrated.

I have two blocks of Chicago Cutler knives and at least one in each block is serrated. I love my knives!

I am not happy with the serrated knife edge type. I find they do not cut in a straight line. They tend to cut at an angle based on the side of the serrated edge. Should have purchased the more expensive straight edge.

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.
