It gives more friction, allowing it to cut touch things easier. Fruit is already pretty smooth on the inside, so it doesn't need serration. Breads and meat however usually do need serration to cut, though different types.

∙ 11y agoA serrated knife can be used to cut all times of things, but its main use lies in its design. The design of the blade allows for you to cut more deeply with each "tooth" on the knife. Serrated knives are better used for cutting meats, and even for yard work if you need a good knife outdoors.

Are jean dubost laguiole knives serrated?
Dubost makes both the serated and non-serated steak knives. Always opt for a serated steak knife as opposed to a non-serated steak knife. As a rule of thumb steak knives should always be serated, they are designed that way to cut through meat with ease. Make sure to ask before you buy, if your Dubost Laguiole knives are "Made In France". The market is saturated with Chinese & Pakistani knock-offs. Laguiole is a region in France not a company, not unlike cognac being a region in France also. Therefore anybody can stamp Laguiole on a knife with no copyright infringements. Make sure it doesn't say crafted in France, it must say "Made in France" Of course there are many degrees of quality, but price normally dictates what grade of knife you'll get. Having said that, you can definitely shop around and get a set of 6 Dubost steak knives (serated) for around 60 dollars. Hope this helps.
