Just as it says on the tin, this is a knife made to slice bread. It’s a bakers friend, and is also used for cakes, loves and pies. The serrations rips through the hard crust and slice the tender bread within. There are different types of serrations for different jobs. Re-sharpening serrated knives is tricky and I’ve never really gotten one back to its initial glory. It is worth mention, though, that serrated knives dull much slower than straight-edge knives, because the blade doesn’t make as much contact with the cutting board. Only the tips of the teeth make contact with the wood and the sharp edges between only cut food, keeping your blade sharp much longer.
