Giesser Knife edge - the choices |
|
| Giesser wavy/serrated edged knife blade |
 |
A wavy edge reduces damage to the knife edge caused by hard surfaces and hard objects such as other knives |
| Giesser scalloped edge knife blade |
 |
The scalloped edge stops items such as cheese sticking to the knife blade |
|
Why have a serrated GIESSER knife blade?
|
Because serrations improve cutting ability!
|
-
Each point of each serration concentrates pressure at that point on the GIESSER knife allowing a cut to form.
-
There is also a rotating centre of pressure around the knife point which moves and pulls at the surface being cut.
-
The cutting edge length is also increased by serrations.
-
The cutting pressure is also taken primarily by the GIESSER knife point thereby reducing wear on the inner curved part of the serration allowing it to retain its edge longer.
-
When cutting flexible surfaces such as meat or skin as the points wear the increased pull at the point brings the surface being cut up onto this fresher sharper part of the blade.
