Procedure for Sharpening Serrated Blades
Serrated blades are similar to saw blades with scalloped depressions and a series of
pointed teeth. In normal use the pointed tips of the teeth do most of the cutting. Serrated
blades of all types can be sharpened with the EdgeSelect Sharpening Module. However,
use only Stage 3 (Figure 14), which will sharpen the teeth of the serrations and develop
ultra sharp microblades along the edge of these teeth. Generally five (5) to ten (10) pairs
of alternating pulls in Stage 3 will be adequate. If the knife is very dull more pulls will be
needed. If the knife edge has been severely damaged through use, make one fast pull (2-3
seconds for an 8” blade) in each of the right and left slots of Stage 2, then make a series of
pulls in Stage 3, alternating right and left slots. Excessive use of Stage 2 will remove more
metal along the edge than is necessary in order to sharpen the teeth. Inspect the serrated
blade edge periodically as you sharpen.
Because serrated blades are saw-like structures, the edges will never appear to be as
“sharp” as the edge on a straight edge knife. However, their tooth-like structure does help
break the skin on hard and crusty foods.
In order to resharpen serrated blades use these same procedures.
Resharpening Straight Edge Blades
Resharpen straight edge knives whenever practical using Stage 3. When that fails to
quickly resharpen, return to Stage 2 and make one or two pairs of alternating pulls. Then
return to Stage 3 where only one to two alternating pair of pulls will be adequate to put
a new razor-like edge on the knife. Use Stage 1 as a first step in resharpening only if you
wish to have more “bite” along the edge or if the knife has been dulled excessively.

resharpenings on the Chef’sChoice
®
Model 2100 you will have to resharpen first in Stage
2 following the normal sharpening procedure and then strop in Stage 3. In this case it
will take 3 or more alternating pairs of pulls in Stage 2 to achieve a uniform burr before
proceeding to Stage 3.
In view of this, if you wish to reduce sharpening time, you can consider not using the
conventional sharpening steel, and rely on Stage 3 for fast resharpening.
