Got this as a gift second handed and would like to sharpen it and make it usable again. The serrated top part started to just break off, so I am cautious about potential metal parts in my food. Any tips welcome, thanks.

One of my favourite cooking knife was a Chinese steel from Tesco whose tip I broke off while playing knife throwing with it. The damn thing kept its edge so well, it was amazing. I actually miss that knife :/

    Not entirely sure why you're being down voted? On the surface it seems like a fantastic claim... HOWEVER I actually think you're being somewhat real - my very first good knife was a $5 thing I got on sale after Christmas clearance. That's where I realized there's a massive amount of scam in high-end knives, just like in high-end audio, if you don't know what you're doing you're going to get burned... And if you do know what you're doing you can get great stuff for pennies.
