I too would like to know if this sharpener works with serrated knives. Does anyone know with actual certainty? (Without guessing at an answer.)

I don't know for certain. This sharpener works with the knife blade perpendicular to the ceramic discs. It would be impossible to sharpen the serrations of a serrated blade.

It would work yes, but I would not use for serrated blades. The ceramics are small, an would be easily damaged.

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

Yes these knives can be sharpened. The only one I've not tried to sharpen is the serrated knife. I purchased the sharpener along with the knife set and it does a great job. Love the set.

Not being an expert sharpener. I don't know. I have a diamond stone which I would use for a regular blade.The S miths would be great for the wide variety of serrated kitchen knives. The serrated bread knife jumps to mind. Take a stab at 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.

The sharpener is NOT for serrated knives. It works fine on all flat blade knives. It's not the best sharpener in the world, but good for the price.

It will sharpen one side if a serrated knife which works perfectly fine however it will not sharpen in the small serrated grooves. If you follow the instructions that it provides on sharpening the serrated knives then it does a good job. It is a very nice product. I hope this heps.

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.

Ya know, I find that MOST knife sharpeners in general are not good for sharpening serrated knives.

Do not use it on shun knives because they are ground to a different angle than most knife sharpeners. Shun does make an electric sharpener designed specifically for Shun knives. I have it and it works very well on my set of Shun knives. I am a cheff and can not tolerate knives that are sharp.

I don't have a specific answer because I don't have an electric knife ... b ut it works VERY WELL on ALL of my other knives with serrated edges ... it doesn't seem logical to assume it WOULDN'T! Leonar Saunders

I would like to know the answer to this question, too. The answer by Ms. Ledbetter doesn't do it. Does anyone know if this will sharpen santoku knives?

I have used this knife sharpener to sharpen every knife I own. It worked fine on my paring knife ...should work for you too.

It works on scissors, knives, blades. It could probably work on serrated blades, too. It does a fantastic job on my garden equipment, too. Great little tool.

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