Serrated knives, or scalloped-edge knives are also known as ''Bread Knives'' because they function perfectly for slicing bread, which requires a back and forth sawing motion. Yet, beyond breads, they can also perform well when used for slicing tomatoes or peaches or other fruits that have a skin that easily bruises. Serrated knives are designed to keep the slicing edge of the blade from coming in contact with the cutting board surface. A serrated knife should be professionally sharpened and should never be used on a sharpening steel.
