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.

Oh I get that. First week or so, real smooth slices and I pamper it. The novelty wears off and I don't care anymore. You can use a bigger angle so there's more material behind the edge. Less likely to knick, but also less sharp. Think meat cleaver vs. a straight razor.
