Singing: My Chef's Choice is older than your Chef's Choice!

Mine is only two stages - there was no option to buy 3 at the time.

I have the Chefs Choice as well....two stage. I also have one for
serrated knives and it works well on putting the serrations back in
line and keeping the knives pretty sharp.

What have you used on a bread knife? There's a point where you'd like to
sharpen them.

Please tell me more! I've never heard of a serrated knife sharpener.
I have an old fashioned scalloped edge knife that I'd love to sharpen.
I hate the new style with micro-serrations.

Do you think it would work on one that has scallops like a bread
knife? Mine is similar to this

Thanks, it's certainly worth a try and won't break the bank either.

All that thing does is grind away the high points of the serrations,
used often enough it will be a non serrated blade. Serrated blades
can't be sharpened unless someone wants to take the time to touch up
each serration with a jewelers file, but serrated blades are too
inexpensive to bother. Scalloped blades, such as bread knives, can be
reground with the correctly formed grinding wheel, most pro sharpeners
will have such a jig set up with a cam that follows the spacing,
similar to a key duplicating machine/chain saw grinder.
