JA Henckles Knife Block

[dbHunterNY]

So I screwed with my wife's butcher block knife set. We got a JA Henckles knife set years ago. I didn't realize what she picked up was a "forever sharp" set of knives with fine serrations. Ran with it anyway and worked alright at first but then wouldn't cut worth a damn with those serrations. tore more than anything.  Finally got tired of it sitting there with most of the set never being used. Took each one out to the garage and put them to the belt grinder. rough 80 grit roughed off the serrations real good. didn't have another finer grit belt though to clean up the mess it left, so i took a simple Smith's handheld carbide/ceramic sharpener to clean up the edges. Not sure if that's the right angle. No idea what it is. They still need work but can slice a tomato pretty thin.  i'll probably have to get out the actual sharpener and honing solution, despite i'm horrible at sharpening.

If any of you come across that stupid micro serration design, look elsewhere.
