Are the serrations on top actually functionable? or just cosmetic?

I have not used the knife as of yet but it looks like they would work. Hope this helps you.

be good for opening wounds to be fatal & cracking ribs,but you might want to get a portable roll up hand saw, a good axe & fire starter? do not buy from amazon because they support isis by selling their t-shirts.

The serrations are meant to shred up bark and other natural materials to use as fire tinder. They are not sharp enough to saw with tho.

Maybe to scale fish? Other than that, I think cosmetic. And on another note, the sheath that comes with is useless. After some use, the inside wears down quickly and fails to retain the knife in the sheath. This is a good camp knife or tackle box knife, but not for real carry I think. Would hate to be in a survival situation where this is my only knife though it is better than nothing.

Serrations are not sharp so they are not for sawing or cutting. I have yet to figure out the prupose of the serrations, but they do make the knife look cool. For the money, great quality product.

The serrations aren't sharp but are tapered on both sides. This knife is made very well. I'm extremely happy with it and would buy it again.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

I think they are. I use mine a lot and I only watch out for the top blade loping my finger off. They are excellent by the way. AND I never lose them.

A little bit. One side is half serrated. It sounds a little odd, but the serrations are not that noticeable and pretty easy to clean.

They are serrated. I gave as a gift so not sure about the balance as never used them. The recipient seemed truly pleased to receive them.

The edge of the blade is stainless to begin with. If you're not careful you could take the color off higher up.

Yes I have one serrated and one plain, however, these were a gift. I have the Rada ones which seem heavier. I gave them to the person but i was not happy with them saying Kwik whatever when mine which she had used say RADA

I had the same question and worry. I finnaly ordered and got the plain. I think the don't make the force serrated anymore but I could be wrong.

Yes they are serrated. We have been very pleased with the knife set. The manufacture dose not recommend putting them in the dishwasher but we do and it has not had any negative effect on the knifes. Good knives for the money.

Hi. We like these knives. There is some very fine serration from tip to about 2inches. These feel good to use unlike so many clunky ones they often have in restaurants. Recommended.

Brian, let me preface what I'm about to say by letting you know I'm no expert on knives and the like but after looking at the groove I really don't see any real practical use for it. I even used the back edge of my knife to see if you could slide it in and help you open it but it really wasn't that usefull. So my guess is that it is mostly cosmetic or it is there so you can feel what side has the stone in it - in case you're in a low-light situation when you want to use it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpfullTed

I'm out of town and away from the knives, but I'm quite sure they are not serrated. I can give you a definitive answer on Sunday. It is a very nice set

Yes, it is. But the serrated part never gets dull. Amazingly it holds good sharpness for a good 5 years.

No serrated option, but you can always have somebody grind them in for you... however, I avoid serrations like the plague for a number of reasons.

The main blade is not serrated. It is a straight blade. You will love this knife.

I looked at mine and everything matches. Iknow mine is genuine. The serrations on the top and bottom at the rear of the blade are different or nonexistent on fakes. 75 percent sure it is real.

Yes they are serrated. They work fine however while they look fine in and of themselves, they do look "added" to the sets other knives. Perhaps this is intentional as the other knives are not going to be "placed" on the table. After woning this knive set the best thing I can say is that I would buy it again. Overall a good value. If you buy the set also invest in a quality sharpener for both the serrated steak knives as well as the other knives and this set should last you a long time and give you good service.
