What is the difference between a fine edge and serrated slicer blade? Do I need both?
The obvious difference is that a fine edge slicer blade has a smooth edge while a serrated slicer blade resembles a table saw. Both types of blades are multi-purpose, however, for models that come equipped with a serrated blade, Chef’sChoice offers an optional straight edge blade for ultra-thin slicing of specialty meats such as proscuitto. We also offer an optional serrated blade for our larger, professional slicers, on which the standard blade is fine edge. Serrated blades tend to perform better when cutting into hard crusted breads or fibrous foods. If your slicer is used for normal household purposes, the blade that comes with it will meet your needs.
