it is possible that the serrations are just not that sharp. I use a serrated edge knife often. in my opinion some companys do serrations better than others. This is one major reason why i like spyderco, i carry their SE knives quite often, and the Spyderedge cuts through anything in its path. I typically perfer plain edge, but both have their uses. Depends on what you are doing. For heavy duty cutting a serrated blade is great, also for rope and other fabric and materials. A plain edge blade is great for box cutting, whittiling, food prep, and most every day cutting jobs.
As far as sharpeners go, it just depends on what sharpener you use as far as how easy serrated knives are to sharpen.
