I have a set of these.  I bought them years ago after using them at one of Emeril's restaurants in New Orleans.  I was not happy with the set I have.  Upon further review, it looks like maybe I just need to sharpen them.  Will try that and see if they work better than the serated steak knives I have.

 are these folding knives? They look pretty nice.

They are not folding.  Just look like they are.

So I just took one of those knives and ran it through my manual sharpener a few times.  Quite a big difference.  I really like them now compared to what I had been using.  They will now be my meat knives when I am eating.

It pleases me that you salvaged them.  They appear to be quite a nice set—pleasingly graceful and stylish.  Now, you've added functional.

they tear rather than cut.

I agree 100%, the tighter the serration spacing the worst they are. Some well spaced ones are tolerable but not for me. 

Agree with your comment.  Serration does provide sharpness that is much longer lasting, as the indented part does not contact the plate surface, while it can still be effective on the food it is cutting. It is a trade off. ?
