Blade Grind:Whether a blade has a straight edge or is serrated will massively effect its cutting abilities, as well as what type of cutting tasks it best lends itself to. As a result, this is another area you’ll want to review when shopping. Though admittedly more difficult to sharpen, knives with partially-serrated blades typically offer the best of both worlds in this regard, as they give their user the option to select between either type of edge depending on the task at hand.
