does it sharpen serrated edges

yes..its a great machine. Used to pay someone to sharpen knives, costing $15 to $20 per knife--this does a far far better job, and its always available. Love it, actually!

On SERRATED edges the "points" get DULL First and this unit will make them sharp, but the valleys are not touched or sharpened. all in all it wprks pretty good though!

If you mean it will sharpen the groves, the answer is no. However, you can, with care sharpen the flat side and this should return the sharpness. I have eventually sharpened both edges as a favorite knife got dull and there isn't much left to the serrations. This is a knife that we have had over 50 years. This is the best sharpener for the price. We have the larger model also for about 14 years. Great products!

Yes according to the instruction book "Model 601 will sharpen quickly either plain edge or serrated blades without removing the blade from the slicer." It also states " The Model 601 will sharpen all blades supplied with Chef'sChoice slicers and virtually all blades up to 10 inch diameter on either household or commercial grade slicers." I do not have a serrated blade but it works great on my Chef'sChoice Model 667 plain edge blade.

Yes it does leave a serrated edge. Not a tool for leather working but a rescue tool for fire dept. To cut a clean edge I would get a high quality box cutting knife from Stanley.

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.comWusthof-Trident Inc333 Wilson AvenueNorwalk, CT 06854

Yes it does. Best knife sharpener I ever used. Just as good as the wicked edge system, yet more compact design for a fraction of the cost.

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.

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

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.

No just sharpens the edge my blade is over 2 years old and still has the cosmolene grease on it that it was shipped with.

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

Yes,the serrations are on both sides being ground down at a lower depth than the blade edge and is sharpened all the way down,nice little knife.

Yes. I own several different brand knives that have serrations and they are only sharpened on one side.

Mine is serrated so it can't be sharpened, but it shouldn't have to be. They call it micro serrated, the teeth are very small and close together. Don't put the blades in the dishwasher or let hard stuff hit them and it should last a long time

Yes. There is a fine, and very effective, serrated edge to these excellent knives.

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

Yes - it is serrated on one edge and a straight blade on the other edge. There are 2 blades on it & each is double edged and can be cranked both clockwise & counter clockwise for different results.

Mary Anne, Thank you for your inquiry. The Perfect Edge knife sharpener is very effective on serrated knives and will provide a very sharp edge.
