Good topic, Grepper.
My serrated knife sharpening is limited to my eight inch Henckel bread knife. I first used a quarter inch wooden dowel wrapped with wet or dry sandpaper. That worked. Then I swirched to the dowel with diamond paste. I liked that better. I used a DMT tapered round diamond file the last time. The serrations were sharp, but look inconsistent. That may be the taper or it may be the operator.
Maxtheknife emailed me a link to a Tom Veff you tube. Good, solid technique. I was impressed with the Veff Sharp he designed. It is a set of two stepped diamond metal dowels, small and large. Each has untapered sections of three diameters. The larger one has a flat section on one side. Mine is presently being shipped, so I can't comment on it yet. It looks promising.
