Is this okay to use on the serrated edge?

I use a Spyderco Tri-Angle for serrated blades. You can sharpen them at 15 or 20 degrees. Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Knife Sharpener 204MF

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

I have the same style knife and though it did make the straight edge a little sharper, I've experienced very minimal results on the serrated edge.

Your question intrigued me and I went on their web site. According to Accu sharp, this does work on serrated knives.

As far as the serrations I use a diamond rod. For the edge I use a small diamond stone very lightly, going with the edge and then away to take off the wire edge.

I don't believe it does a very good job on serrated knives. I wouldn't use it on Cutco.

I have sharpened a partially serrated pocket knife on this sharpener however I have found that it really does not do a good job on any serrated knife.

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.

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!

kjm said the directions say it will work on serrated edge knives. Is there any kind of a guarantee if the sharpener ruins it?

I have never (and wouldn't) try to sharpen a serrated edge with a sharpener that takes away metal from the edge. A serrated blade requires a special rod sharpener. I do not recommend the diamond sharpener, it will damage your blade.

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!

It probably won't damage your blade I have used it several times on various blades and they cut just fine, as for serrated I don't think so. I have one serrated blade and find it awkward to run the blade thru the sharpener. I don't know how to sharpen a serrated blade, might have to YouTube that one.

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.
