How do we sharpen a serrated bread knife?
Sharpening a serrated bread knife is an important skill that requires special attention to detail. Unlike a straight-edged knife, a serrated bread knife features a series of scallops or "teeth," each of which performs a part of the cutting task. Each of these serrations must be individually sharpened to maintain the knife's overall functionality, making the process slightly more complex than sharpening a regular straight-edged knife.

A serrated blade is specially designed for tasks that require a sawing motion, such as cutting through fresh, crusty bread loaves without crushing the soft interior. Each serration acts like a tiny saw tooth to cut through tough exteriors and soft interiors effortlessly.
Given their unique shape and the special functions they perform, a serrated knife requires more meticulous care when being sharpened. Here are some reasons why:
Distributed effort: Each serration contributes a small cutting edge while reducing the overall friction on the blade. When sharpening, you must ensure each of these small edges is as sharp as the rest for the knife to function effectively.
Varied sizes: The serrations on a bread knife can come in different shapes and sizes. Often, every other serration is smaller than the one next to it, requiring different-sized sharpening tools to restore each edge correctly.
Single-sided bevel: Most serrated knives are beveled on one side only. This means that they're sharpened on one side whilst the other remains flat. This design contributes to the cutting efficiency of the blade, but it also means you need to approach sharpening from the correct angle and direction.
Necessary Techniques for Sharpening a Serrated Knife
Since each serration has its own separate cutting edge, they need to be sharpened one at a time. Sharpening them individually ensures that each serration remains sharp and effective.
I typically start by placing the sharpening rod into a serration at the same angle as the bevel. The rod is then slowly drawn through each serration several times.
It's also important to use the right size sharpening rod or tool, ensuring the sharpener appropriately fits the groove of each serration for optimal results.
Once all serrations are sharpened, any burrs on the flat side of the knife are carefully removed to retain the original single-sided bevel.
By appropriately maintaining your serrated bread knife, you will get the best out of your kitchen experience.
