I've always been amused by the NEW knives that make it so easy to cut
through fresh bread. If ya take a dull straight edge blade and really press
down on a loaf of bread, guess what? It don't cut it well-BUT of course our
'serrated' sharp knife does-what a surprise.

You're an idiot, there're not a post you've ever made that contained
an iota of value.

That blade is clearly not serrated, it's scalloped. That's the same
type of blade used for professional bread slicing machines...
obviously someone got the idea to create an all purpose knife using
just one blade supported by an innovative frame. Were someone to buy
those blades individually from the manufacturer (in England) they are
kind of pricy, like $8+ each. On TV they are selling 2 for $10 with
the frames, and giving two free veggie peelers... not like $10 will
break the bank, and many who are not too skilled with cutlery may find
it useful for certain tasks. Scalloped blades are incredibly sharp
and because of their configuration they present about twice the
cutting edge per inch of blade length of an ordinary blade, therefore
will cut with about half the effort. I just wonder if anyone has
tried one and what they feel about it. I probably wouldn't buy one
because I'm pretty competent with ordinary cutlery and I'm too old to
learn new tricks.

Glad to see you've found some common ground.
(This is how Sheldon makes friends.)

You can sharpen a scalloped blade, though, whereas I've found no way to sharpen serrated. I still flash back to those Ginsu commercials. The can, then the tomato.

Sheldon, I was referring to the blade unable to cut the bread. Get your head
out of your ass and pay attention.
