nonserrated
Lacking jagged edges
Nonserrated describes an edge that is smooth and continuous rather than having teeth or notches.
The term appears most often with knives and blades: a nonserrated steak knife has a straight cutting edge, while serrated ones have sawlike teeth.
The nonserrated blade made cleaner cuts through the tomato.
