i just simply want to know what serration you guys think are the best. I side with the veff serrations
 
I like Spyderco's but my favorites are Victorinox. They're nice and shallow, fine, but with an open enough angle that they're easily touched up.
 
Spyderco or Benchmade. I do like Benchmade's shallow serrations.

Worst: Cold Steel and CRKT Veff serrations. Veff serrations seem nice and aggressive at first, but they are a huge PITA to sharpen
 
veff serrations in my experience have also been quite fragile... almost as fragile as kershaws serrations which i dislike too. if i wanted serrations that cut like a plain edge i would stick with a plain edge knife lol.
 
Spyderco makes the best serrations, I think.

Because if you line up the serrations on two spydercos edge to edge they look like a spider?

From the Spyderco website;

"Because serrations improve cutting ability. The tips of the serrations provide single point penetration at the same time the center of effort rotates around each serration for an infinite number of cutting angles, increasing the cutting edge length by up to 24% (Diagram B). A serration is a sharpened recessed curve along the edge of the blade and has more linear cutting surface than a straight edge in the same space (Diagram A). And, serrations improve edge retention because the tips initiate the cut easing the amount of force required by the recessed edges. The points actually protect the sharp inside curves that continue the cut, thus the curves have less wear over time. Our signature SpyderEdge, also referred to as a two-step serration incorporates a repeated pattern of one large and two small serrations (Diagram B)."

I carry a serrated Spyderco every day, I love the spyderedge. I hate kershaw's round serrations.
 
How do you sharpen those round convex serrations?

About other serrations I red that in order to sharpen you use a tapered round file, finds the spot where it's radius matches the serration. Then you mark it with a pen 1cm in each direction from that point and then you just drag it forward and backward along that marked area. Is that the correct method? If so then sharpening serrations doesn't sound as difficult as said to be. :)
