I was surprised to see that the serrated part of the blade was only on one side of the top of the blade. Should it have been on both sides?

Sharpening one side gives it a finer edge. If the serrations came from both sides, you would have to remove more metal from both sides to give it the same sharp angle that you get with just one side being sharpened. It's also easier to maintain the edge, when you only have to sharpen one side.

Not silly, on mine the blade was VERY stiff. There is a locking tab inside the blade opening, kind of hard to describe, but it has a serrated edge, press it in while grasping the blade in your left hand and SLOWLY, close. The blade is very stiff on closing so watch your thumb or fingers as you close or you'll cut your hand. This blade arrived very sharp.

The main blade is not serrated. It is a straight blade. You will love this knife.

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.

Yes, it is on both sides. The thumb stud sucks though, it is too close to the base of the blade, which makes it very difficult to use. It was mostly intended for using the flipper that sticks out the top of the handle, which is essentially the blade guard, once deployed.

Mine is also not serrated.. It works just fine however. With just a bit of practice my edges are nice and clean. I thought the same thing the first time I saw the non serrated edge bit have been using mine regularly for two years and it works great

The knife that I received came straight edge. So whilst the info indicates that it's serrated, I would still order it. If it comes in serrated, then likely just contact amazon.

A little bit. One side is half serrated. It sounds a little odd, but the serrations are not that noticeable and pretty easy to clean.

M. Redmond I am not sure I understand the ? but if your asking if it cuts on both sides of the blade then yes it does.

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

Mine does not work on serrated edges. I think there are some others that do.

There is distal taper on the blade but it is more pronounced on the bottom (edge side) then on the top. This allows the blade to maintain its rigidity to the tip.

Yes, you got old stock. I got the non-serrated blade in February from Amazon. I'm not sure exactly when the switch was though.

One side of the blade is smooth and the other is serrated. The serrated side cuts through roots easily when repotting pot bound plants and while digging in soil for planting. It also is a great tool for weeding. I love mine and wouldn't be without one after purchasing my first one a couple years ago. Carol

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

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