It's a saw blade, so it's serrated. You'll have to sharpen it eventually, but mine has been going for about two years without the need to resharpen. I believe you can buy spare blades as well.

No. This tool is NOT recommended for serrated blades. Serrated blades require a special tool.But this knife sharpener is great for straight blades. I highly recommend it.

Actually serrated blade is, in general, a bad design. It's to protect the cutting edge when you cut steak on a ceramic plate. But its cutting power is inferior. I would use this tool to get rid of the serration and just hone your knife before your meal :D. You would be surprised as to how well that would work.

Definitely! It's razor sharp. I've cut through plastic with it. I prefer the straight edge but if you feel that you may get more from the serrated edge, go for it!

It comes with a sharpener that you lightly run down the edge. I prefer to lock the razor down when doing this. It stays sharp for a long time, you shouldn't need to sharpen it for awhile. Try not to run it over gravel or rocks.

IIRC, Kershaw blades include lifetime sharpening. Send it to them and they'll sharpen and return. You pay one-way shipping. Again, this is from memory. Check the documentation that came in the box.

I haven't used it extensively. I tried to do some chopping and made some feather sticks and it seemed to holds up pretty good. The only problem for me, it's a little bit hard to sharpen this knife with regular sharpening stone. I found out the best way is using the Diamond Pen sharpener. This is due to the unique curved shape on the middle of the blade. If you're experience maybe you can get by with a smaller, like 1 inch wide sharpening stone. But at the same time, that curved is very helpful to carve feather sticks. So it has it's pros and cons.

As best I can see the pic you posted, it looks like the one I bought for my slicer and it is a wonderful blade. I almost never use the serrated blade. The smooth one slices cold cuts thinner than paper!!

I have yet to sharpen the blades even after filleting over 100 fish, as they still cut well. I do know that were available when I purchased the knife. I also think that one could sharpen the blades using a method appropriate for sharpening serrated blades.

In my experience with this blade: WITH effort and focus maybe. If it were something you needed to cut quickly as in a life threatening moment, I would say no. I have a feeling mine that I ordered was not fully sharpened though(Bad batch maybe?). So I would definitely look for more reviews.

You cannot sharpen the blades - this is why this is a $40 tool and not a $240 tool.However I've had mine for something like 4 or 5 years now, I use it regularly, and it is still super scary sharp. So ... you probably won't ever need to sharpen it in normal household use.

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.

You can sharpen the blade! I pulled the blade out and took it to my local knife sharpener. He did it for a few bucks and it's good as new! You can also pull the blade out and use your blade straightener on it too.

One of the knives, that I use most often, is being to get dull. I don't know if they can be sharpened. I've been wondering the same thing, but just haven't investigated yet.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker for it. It's fairly inexpensive and the easiest sharpening method. As far as not needing to sharpen it because it has a "SpyderEdge," that's total nonsense. It's a blade. Blades dull with use. Blades need to be sharpened.
