​There are different types of serrated edges you can sharpen with a Block sharpener:

Block sharpeners Sharpens Classic serrated edge

The classic serrated edge is the most common type of serration, featuring sharp, jagged tips designed to tear through food. The density of the serration can vary, with less dense serrations (fewer tips with more space in between) offering more bite, as the cutting pressure is concentrated on fewer points. This type of serration is ideal for cutting through anything with a hard crust.

Scalloped edge sharpens great with a Block sharpener. 

In a scalloped edge, the serration is inverted compared to the classic serrated edge. This design makes it less aggressive, making it the ideal choice for cutting softer foods like cakes, sandwiches, or even for carving. Instead of tearing through food, the scalloped edge provides a smooth cutting action with a subtle saw-like effect.

Double serrated edge sharpens great with a Block sharpener

This edge features two different serration profiles: raised, sharp tips with scallops in between. This design offers two key benefits: The sharp tips provide enough aggression to tear through tougher skins or crusts, while the scalloped sections offer a smoother, less aggressive cutting action, resulting in a balance between tearing and cutting. The raised tips will protect the scallops from direct contact with the cutting board, significantly reducing wear and extending the lifespan of the edge.
