Yes. Serrated knives hold their bite longer than straight blades. When needed, use a tapered rod or professional service to refresh the serrations. Is it only for bread? No — the Awabi’s serrated edge works on crusty loaves, pastries, tomatoes, citrus, and layered cakes where smooth knives often crush or slip. What’s special about VG10 Damascus? VG10 provides high hardness and corrosion resistance. Combined with 67-layer Damascus cladding, it offers durability, edge retention, and beauty. Is the abalone handle durable? Yes. The abalone shell resin is strong, water-resistant, and reinforced with a stainless bolster and tang for long-term use.
