Can I sharpen serrated blades with this sharpener too?

Yes and no. You can use the manual honing slot for honing the tips on the serration without risk of ruining the knife. You could also sharpen a serrated knife in the grinding slots, but that will eat a little of the serration each time, and after x number of sharpenings, the serration will have disappeared.

Have not tried with serrated knives.In theory, I could see it doing it. For a while.Eventually, the metal edge of the blade would wear away; passed the indentures of the serrations and you'd have a smooth edge.There is an abrasive wheel within the device that grinds away at the metal surface.Other reviewers may be in the early stages.What if it takes a hundred years to wear passed the serrations?!:)It is a great sharpener. You should feel comfortable buying this one.Good luck!

You'd need to use the rod that folds out and sharpen each serration with it, as far as I understand it. That can be time-consuming, but it 'works'.

Yes - You use but it needs be done very carefully and slowly and on an angle (I am presuming that your edge id on one side of the knife). I would use it only a few times - less that you would for a normal knife. I only other way to do a serrated edge knife is to buy the Right size round fine file and do each grove 1 by 1 - it takes a lot of time and skill to the right angle for every groove. Most Home cooks would get it wrong and end up with an uneven blade. Hope that helps.

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

I have used this on my serrates knives but I do it very gently. It works wonderful on all the other knives. One mistake that people make is they think that the honing tool is to sharpen the knives it only is to straighten the edge of the knives. I hope that this answers your question. Have a glorious Thanksgiving and a Blessed Christmas.

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

Perhaps would depend on the type of serration. For deep, true serration with sharp points, no. For a wavy edge or a Granton edge, yes. Especially older ones that are already thinned out by repeated sharpening. As Cunningham said, for the true serration, this is too wide a honing stick for any true serration I've ever seen. Also remember, this is a HONING stick. NOT a true sharpener. Put the edge on your blade, then maintain it with this tool and you shouldn't have to actually sharpen as often.

Any knife can be sharpened by it. I sharpened all my knives, even serrated, really well and with not much effort.

I have never attempted to sharpen scissors and I really am not familiar with the finer points of the process. This stone is a very simple tool for sharpening simple non-serrated knives. If scissors can be sharpened by simply honing one or both sides of the blades, the stone should work fine. If you need to do something more intricate, it won't do.

It should work on anything that opens up enough to fit the body of the sharpener over the blade. Read the notch to see which one to use. I was surprised that it sharpened a really cheap set of sissors. The serration makes it time consuming and you may ask a professional if there is a better way.

I'm not an expert but I wouldn't think this is the right sharpener for a serrated edge blade.

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

Hi-Would you please clarify your comment? Are you saying you can use the ceramic side on a serrated knife, but not the steel, coarse side? Do you happen to know what you need to sharpen a serrated knife?Thanks,

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.

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.

Yes, but it depends on the knife. This sharpener is great for honing inexpensive blades, but I wouldn't use it on Wusthof, Global or Henckels knives. The edge you get from the Chef's Choice is very sharp, but not like a razor. It's more like micro serrated. I used it to sharpen my cheap set of KitchenAid blades. My Chroma knives I sharpen by hand with a whetstone. The stropping wheel can be used on any knife and it works well.
