How to Sharpen Bread Knife

Serrated knives can be sharpened. Care must be taken to only remove the minimum amount of material. I use a rotary grinding tool with a diamond coated burr. Magnification will help when deciding how much to remove.

    Good one, but it would have been really helpful if you would have included a link to the conical burr you use. There are so many different sizes, grits, and compositions to choose from.

    In the UK these knives are also known as bread saws. There are plenty of high quality examples to be had very cheaply at car boot sales ... because most folks have no idea how to sharpen them. I have also had good results using the rounded edge stone wheels used in chainsaw sharpening tools..... very quick and effective

    Thanks for your comment! I have also used the edge of my grinding wheel to shape these scallops. Couldn't keep my hand steady enough though. More often than not, I distorted the pattern too badly. Turned to this rotary burr and polish method because I could get more consistent results.

    Well Sir, I just found you on you tube. Second video. What, I say, WHAT is wrong with the van? 🤔 Those sprinters are on my want list. I have bookmarked you. 71 yrs old and getting back into sharpening. You have much more experience than i have, so I will be looking to learn all I can from you. Hope you can fix the van soon.

    Well you wont believe the van situation. I cant even make sense of it. A computer chip that controlled the emissions system was out and unavailable for nearly a year. It was under warranty but the part was so scarce that Mercedes didnt prioritize my repairs until I finally removed all my equipment and took it back. Said I was considering legal action. They fixed it within two hours. Drove it for 2 months then outfitted it again. Then it got rear-ended the first day out. This is my second Sprinter. I was just frustrated about the situation when I started making these videos. Mercedes makes a fabulous product. I believe the pandemic caused the lack of availability for the particular part. The 2005 Sprinter lasted 275k when I sold it fo $6000. Saw it for sale on craigslist last mont for $18,000. Good luck sharpening. Plenty of dull stuff out there. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
