Serrated edge knife is more suitable for cutting

Generally speaking, serrated edge knives are more suitable for cutting than ordinary edge knives, especially on hard or tough surfaces. Serrated knives are often easy to grasp and cut the surface. Some cutting ability of serrated edge knife is only due to its format; Therefore, even a blunt serrated edge knife is usually competent for slicing. The cutting ability of serrated edge knife comes from many factors. The high points on the serrated blade will contact the material first, which makes the pressure per unit area of these points higher than that of the ordinary blade; This makes the serrations easier to pierce. In addition, the serrations are usually chiseled into the blade, which means they are thinner (and therefore cut better) than the equivalent ordinary blade.

Flat edge knife is more suitable for shaving

The flat edge knife is more suitable for shaving, peeling apples and deer. All of these applications either involve push cutting or require extreme control. Serrated knives work well on things such as hard rope or wood, and the serrations will soon bite through.

In general, the more push cuts are used, the more flat edges need to have "razor polished" edges. As you move to higher and higher gravel, the blade will become more polished. In general, 1200 grid is considered polished; 6000 + grain size Japanese Shuishi will further polish the edges.

An example

An interesting case is cutting tomatoes. In theory, you just need to push the blade over the tomato, so the flat edge of the razor can be polished. However, tomatoes are very soft. Unless your flat blade knife is very sharp, the tomatoes will only be flattened when you start pushing. You can (as many people do) slice with your ordinary blade, but if it's a little blunt, it won't cut well or even hurt the skin. Use a serrated knife (even a blunt knife) to cut your tomatoes very thin.
