Can this sharpener be used on the serrated edge knives?

No, I'm pretty sure that you can't sharpen serrated edge knives with any regular sharpener.

I'm not sure if you're supposed to, but I did try it on the Rada serrated and it worked well...I ran it through just a few times and gently. I don't think I would do it too often though.

Depends on what you mean. Sharpening a knife means taking off metal. If you take off metal in a straight line, you're going to eventually remove the serrated edge completely. You'll still have a knife, it just won't be serrated. Actually sharpening a serrated knife means individually working on each little serration - it's a lot of work, and this isn't the tool for it.

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

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

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!

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.

Yes, you can sharpen them with a commercial sharpener or hone the edges. I have read online that people have sent them in for sharpening and the CostCo website says that "all non-serrated knives are hand-sharpened on a whetstone, and finished on a Japanese leather wheel for the best quality cutting edge" so that would probably work too. Good luck!

Small length blades are not going full length contact with the sharpener components due to the housing. It will not work on serrated blades.

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.

I don't know. I'm under the impression that serrated knives in general cannot be sharpened.

Probably would be a safe bet. I haven't had it for long but it seems to work well for the kitchen knifes. My stone gets my pocket and hunting knifes sharper. This sharpener takes less work tho.

No! Put this question to rest. The simple fact is that you cannot hone a serrated edge on a sharpening steel. Not only will it not sharpen the knife, you will probably ruin your ceramic hone. But, hey, as a professional knife sharpener, that's just my opinion.

Yes you can use the fine side on the wingman blades. I do not recommend using the coarse side on the wingman blades. Also, you should not use this on serrated knives.

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.

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.

These type of sharpeners will destroy serrated blades. Don't use if on them.

cutco offers free sharpening service with their knives, I have this sharpener and would recommend it but would not use it on cutco knives.... it may void their warranty.
