I like a plain edge simply for the look and ability to sharpen easier.

What sort of grit would you say you might prefer to leave it to be toothy?
Several dogs have mentioned that serrated edges are needed to cut bread without smashing it flat. I strongly disagree. I received a set of carbon steel Sabatier cutlery for a gift in 1976. It included a long straight plain edge bread knife. I keep the blade on it razor sharp and have never had a problem slicing bread. If the bread is extremely soft rotate the loaf toward you one quarter turn so you are slicing through the side and bottom. Try it then give your serrated edge bread knives to the homeless.
Frstr8, I meant no offense against people who use serrated knives. As a matter of fact, my 3 daughters and my 4 granddaughters always use serrated knives. I think they got them from Ginsu. They also cut things on their countertops without using a cutting board and then put their knives in the dishwasher. I absolutely love their quarter sawn garlic bread.
