Sharpening the serrated area of a ZT knife

[djjonny]

Hey guys

Just curious, The ZT0200 serrated area is convex instead of concave like most knives
When it goes dull one day what is the best way to sharpen it?

I'm guessing on the other side of the knife edge?

Assuming the serrations are ground on one side only, then yes, I'd find it much easier to hone on the back side of them. I think my preferred method would be to use an edge-trailing stroke on some wet/dry sandpaper. Choose the grit based on how much work the edge needs. Being that the serrations also appear to be located in the recurve portion of the edge, wrapping the paper around a fairly large cylinder, like a section of 4" - 6" PVC pipe, or a bed post (Whaa??? Don't laugh, I've actually done this; it works pretty well ) or something in that size ballpark, might help also. Using some leather & compound on a cylinder like this would also be a good way to strop it, and therefore minimize the frequency of having to re-sharpen. I wouldn't let the serrations get too dull; stay ahead of it, and they should be fairly easy to maintain.
