Hi There, can this knife sharpener be used for the 2 blades in an electric knife - ie they are both serrated?

Yes, it has a serrated knife slot, although I have not used it yet. If you are buying it for scissor sharpening don't- it breaks fairly quickly.

No, but it has a pull out manual carbide slot for manually sharpening serated knives. Works well.

Sorry I have no idea. I would imagine you are correct that a scissor or knife sharpener would dull the blades.

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.

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

For serrated knives you should use the round file sharpener. Unfortunately you may have damaged the other sharpener. Go to youtube to find techniques on how to sharpen serrated knives.

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

the real reason is because the edges break and chip like crazy. This is a gallery of 3 of our knives, one new and two we have had for a very long time. No, before anyone asks, they were never sharpened wrong (at least not with any of those terrible carbide sharpeners, only diamond rods.) and while these still cut, they aren't supposed to be serrated like that. http://imgur.com/a/WUzS6

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!

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

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

The blade is basically a heavy razor blade that is replaceable. I am using a serrated blade in my knife. I would say yes.

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

Hi - I'm not completely sure. But from my experience, you can use on all knives. It's super easy and a great sharpener. Their customer service is great - shoot them a quick email before purchasing. Hope that helped.

Serrated blades are tough. Reality is that only the concave serration side of the blade should have a sharpening surface applied to it. The diamater of this rod is far too large for that application. I'd recommend something with no more than a 3/8 inch diameter for large serrations and something even smaller in diameter for those knives with smaller serrations. Ideally, the diameter of the rod should exactly match the shape of the individual serration. This rod however it GREAT for straight or gently curved blades! Hope this helps!

It's a nice sharpener that will put damn sharp edges on a dull knife, but I either use the budget set I sharpened with this great gadget, or my Cutco. Sorry that I can't help.

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.

Yes! It sharpened my serrated knives beautifully! I even sharpened the steak knives with it! Just don't put it in for very long... test by slicing a piece of paper... will tell you it's sharp enough. I love it! Easy to use and sharpens well!
