Which is better... these serrated egde scissors or the blunt tip?

It depends on what you plan to use them for. The serrated blades are amazing for fine fabrics (such as silk) that need a little "grab" so the fabric doesn't slip while you are cutting. I like the blunt tip for heavier fabrics like upholstery and leather.

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

Sharp edge. Not like a knife though. I have used this tool a lot and really like it.

The tanto half serration knife has serrations at,the begging of.the.blade.to aid in cutting things like thick rope and small sapplings and things where a sawing method would be easier than using the actual blade i like the serrations better than the plane.blade.it makes It a more versitaile tool

If you want things razor thin, the non-serrated blade is, literally, the only way to go. The serrated will tear the food apart if you try to make ultra thin slices.

I use a work sharp electric sharpener on all my knives,It' quick easy and gives me a shaving edge.about $100 but worth it.

The very tips of the two halves are a tiny bit rounded, rather than coming to a sharp point. Chances are yours are just the way they're supposed to be, but if you are in doubt, see if there are any sharp or abrupt edges (like something had been broken off), if there aren't then your scissors are just the way they should be.I will recommend that you wash these by hand rather than in a dishwasher though. I think the extreme heat of the drying cycle tends to make the rubber handles a bit brittle as time goes on. Other than that, these are a great addition to any kitchen.I hope that helps you.

As far as I can tell, there isn't any difference between the two scissors . . . just another description for the same product. The length of both descriptions are 6-1/4" inch long so I think I'm right about this . . . just another name. I have two pair of these scissors that I bought at different times. I can assure you that you will absolutely love these scissors. As a jewelry designer, I use my scissors for cutting metal and these scissors work better than any shears I've ever purchased. So, whatever your use . . . cooking, etc., you will not be disappointed. They are truly the best scissors ever!!

J.A. Henckels is one of the best knifes you can buy. The set I bought has a fine serrated edge which I prefer smooth edge. I haven't had any problems with them at all. The hone I bought with them keeps the edges sharp.

All except the largest knife is serrated. The scissors are regular scissors. I love my set.

I would say its nice pointed tip. It's very quiet and stops sharpening when the light goes on.

Lansky sharpener will do the job on the non serrated part, I have never had to sharpen the serrated edge on mine. If you mail the knife back to benchmade with 5 dollars for return postage they have a lifetime sharpening service and will put a factory edge on it for you.

I bought an electric sharpner. It works great on them. I've never had good results with the ones that come with the set.

These scissors have a curved end. They are very sharp also. Great purchase, highly recommended.

No, it is definitely serrated. There is only about a quarter inch straight edge at the tip of the blade. Your blade choice kind of depends on what you want to use it for. The serrated edge cuts like nobody's business but for a general use pocket knife I also bought a straight edge, which I find more useful. Both are terrific in their own right. Also, the clip is easily removable which makes it a nice sized pocket knife in my shorts. When it's cooler and I wear jeans the clip works well to hold it in the change pocket; it's a perfect fit!

Absolutely. Great pair of scissors. High quality and, for me, the grips are big enough for big hands without getting stuck. Big openings. Not one of those silly round holes. Also, they come with a blade cover! I didn't even realize it, but I really like it. It's hard plastic and since I have two young kids, I feel much more comfortable with them grabbing them. I use these at my desk and I really like 'em.

Like the others have said the bread and four steak knives are the only serrated ones, all others are not. Serrated knives work best for slicing by means of moving back and forth as non-serrated knives are made to slice through food by chopping down, leaving a nice clean cut (as serrated can leave a rough torn-up cut). I love these knives and how sharp they are, although I'd never try to sharpen mine without a whetstone.
