For certain knives that have non-standard degree edges, they have to send them out. This is one of those knives and I wish it would've been explained to me before I spent $200 on a knife.

The sharpeners I linked to above will do serrated knives. The manual version is like $50.

Mine aren't, either. The only serrated knives we own are a bread knife and a tomato knife and it's the tomato knife that I'd like to sharpen.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2019 4:47 pmI tend to avoid serrated knives as much as possible because of sharpening issues. My steak knives aren't even serrated.

I'd probably just find a local shop that sharpens knives and pay them the $10 or so to do it.
At our local farmers market there is a guy that takes in your knives and will return them the next Saturday sharpened for $4/5 per knife with a small increase for anything big/specialty. My mom has used him because he will turn them around faster than I will for her and the price is cheap.

I really need to get on this knife bandwagon. I just put my magnet up the other day. I need to sharpen the old blades and put up my new knives.
