I have never used serrated knives. Do they feel different than non-serrated when using? I imagine a bread knife... hope it's not that awkward, hah.

I love my knives. They do cut great, however they're a little too serrated for me and it is a little different. The height away from the cutting board from having such rigid knives. The weight and feel in your hand is nice. They're so sharp. I was afraid to use them.

They cut better than other knives. I use with a cutting board and they work fine.

I am happy with the weight and feel of these knives. They cut smoothly and quickly. They aren't world class but I didn't want to spend $1000+ either. I easily chopped huge pan of veggies for stir fry tonight.

Those knives work as well as the serated ones, on all types of products. Highly recommend it. Cheers.

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

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.

The knives I find to be decent for cutting. They are serrated on one side and flat on the other so it's not like you'll be cutting through food like a stake knife but they are very comparable with my other "el-cheapo" knives I normally use (this set is too fancy for me to use daily)

No. Steak knives are serrated. And the bread knife. And a few other are serrated and a few are not serrated.

If it is not serrated, I imagine you could sharpen it, but why? It is already very sharp,cuts any veggie. Mine has not lost any sharpness. If you do sharpen it, take care!

I don't...I mail it to Spyderco with $5 for return shipping (see their web site)...they will return it to the factory edge for free. I tried having a local "professional" due it and he totally jacked it up. Won't make that mistake again. This is the one problem with serrated edges...much more challenging to sharpen than a straight edge.

No Melanie. They are sharp only on one side, and they are not serrated - at least the set I purchased. Non serrated does a better job of slicing cleanly on some meats. They also come in handy as an extra paring knife. They are aluminum and are best washed by hand as dishwasher detergent will make the handles turn a darker color and not be as smooth. Having said all that - - - I absolutely LOVE these knives. Excellent value.

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.

I believe further back the blade is serrated. Unfortunately I can't double-check since I mislaid it and haven't been able to find it. Sorry.

Serrated without question. I was given an original (series 1) and I also have a series 2. I wish I could find another original, although the two is a great knife as well. ..

I have two blocks of Chicago Cutler knives and at least one in each block is serrated. I love my knives!

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!

The one we got was non-serrated. Model number 54875. It has been a great knife.

G.M.: I'm very sorry, but I have misled you. The Port Meirion knives are serrated, just the tiniest bit. I was using my memory to answer you earlier. I was sure I was right. But at dinner, I noticed the tiny serrations--just enough to make the knives effective; no aesthetic or discomfort problems--and I wanted to correct my error as soon as possible. Again, my apologies.

All of my knives are not serrated. They do not damage the plates. I don't know if other types of knives will damage them or not.

No - It comes with a knife that looks like one ! but it does not have a serrated edge. Works on bread though.
