A serrated SEBENZA...

I guess that except if you have a spydie with the system specially made to sharpen these serrations, it will be a pita to sharpen anyway.

I like the Sebenza serrations the best and as far as Spyderco goes the only way for the user to properly and completely sharpen them is with these and Spyderco does not make them any more. But if you do have these it is very easy to sharpen them.

If you look the serrations in DaveH's picture in post # 3, you will see:

1) the tips of the serrations are in line with the regular edge, so sharpen the whole edge, serrations and all, as you would a plain edge. As I described for the older serrations in my post # 16.

2) If you do want to sharpen the serrations individually, there are only 6 of them and each is fairly broad, so any narrow sharpener will do, probably even the edges of the Sharpmaker rods.

One of the complaints about serrations on one side only is that they work like an Emerson "v grind". The primary grind may be a V, but the secondary bevel (and serrations) are one side only, and the blade tends to push away from that side in a slow, careful cut.

Prior to the CRK system, serrations cut into both sides were prohibitively difficult to line up all the little cusps. CRK cuts them into each side alternately, however.

Ok that makes some sense to me. One more clarification. Can you give me a example of when one would do a slow careful cut with serrations?

Thanks

Some times you just walk along and trip over new and exciting ideas.

Gouda Cheese and stick notching two things I never considered doing with a serrated knife before.

But first I am going to try shaving. :D
 
I really just didn't know they were in existence and was going to ask if someone had the capacity to make serrations. Now that I know they come with them on some models, well, that ignites the fire in my soul and I'm going to have to get one now...

I only knives I have without serrations are the Kershaw Damsacus Leek, and my Zero Tolerance 150 dagger... both need serrations.

Thanks for all the responses though...

One of the guys pointed out the interesting patterns his serrated Spydies made when spreading peanut butter on bread. :)
