Anybody who spends over $20 on a serrated kitchen knife deserves to be stabbed in the face with it. Serrated knives are pretty worthless in the kitchen. They put serrations on them because the steel is so cheap it can't hold an edge for more than a few weeks. Get a blade with higher vanadium content. I prefer a good ATS34, AUS8, or VG10 steel. VG10 being the best IMO.
