No, it's an actual serrated chef's knife. It's similar to this although the blade/handle profile are closer to a regular chef's knife.

Cutco are decent forged knives sold with 3x overhead built into the price for the pyramid profit cut.

Serrated is what you do to poo poo rear end steel stamped out since teeth can be dull as poo poo and still "cut."

Those instant knife sharpeners basically just microserrate the blade which is why so much material comes off in each pass.

Just remembering that most Cutco knives have some proprietary serration from the factory. Vague recollections from going to a Vector talk when I was like 19 and they talked up their magical serrations before I realized it was just a pyramid.

It's been like 20 years and my Cutco steak knives and bread knife are still pretty drat good. Definitely overpriced but they do cut real good.

This. My mom has a Cutco breadknife that's at least 20 years old and it's fantastic. The serrated chef's knife in question is absolute trash.

Cutco's one of those old-school rip-off companies that's mostly just way overpriced but not actually a shoddy product. They can definitely be sharpened and maintained for years.

A serrated chef's knife is a weird knife for most purposes, but I assumed you meant those micro-serrated ones meant to replace a regular knife rather than a bigger bread knife style serration. That's what the one you linked looks like. Those new micro-serrated blades really piss me off, probably because that what my parents have for their whole knife set and they're always saying how great and 'sharp' they are and I'm always just looking for a razor sharp straight blade in their kitchen. Like, they're emphatically fine for basic prep most home cooks will do, especially if you don't want to think about maintenance at all and want something that will cut for years. But it's impossible to make any sort of clean slice with them, they always require some sawing and pressure and they do a lot of unnecessary mangling.

My dad bought me a set of cutco knives off a door to door salesman when I left the house at eighteen. They were a great gift and jump started my culinary journey. I still have them and they're very sentimental and I still regularly use the bread knife, paring knife, and spatula thing. I also have a full set of Victorinox though because I'm not eighteen any more. But still.

Anyway thanks for listening to me talk about how cool my dad is.

Do you mean hone? You don't. There is no redeeming value in that knife, it is simply awful.
