Micro serrations
Micro serrations are serrations that have a width of less than 5 mm between each serration.
At Blade & Butler we do sharpen micro serrations however we DO NOT offer a full re-serration service for micro serrations like we do for standard bread knives.
Most high end branded knives we receive with micro serrations are easily sharpened without significant loss of serration however there can be some reduction and in rare instances, removal of all or some of the micro serrations following a service dependant on edge bevel where the micro serrations are located on the blade; blade thickness; existing ware/condition of the serration or size of the original micro serration to name but a few examples.
If you have any queries please do get in touch prior to ordering as communication always helps. If no comments are left at Checkout we will aim to give best possible outcomes RE the above.
Un branded, economy or budget knives that present with micro serrations are often beyond repair due to the poor quality steel used in their manufacture. See below.
When presented with knives such as these, if the micro serrations cannot be saved, we administer a wide, thin bevel which maximises the cutting potential of the poor quality steel to ensure the best possible outcome for the sharpness of the knife going forward. Depending on previous serration condition, none, some or all of the micro serrations can be visible and effective within the new bevel.
Below is an example of Wusthof micro serrations post service.
