Know before you buy
The serrated edge acts like a saw, allowing you to pierce the tough skin of a tomato without applying downward pressure. This prevents the fruit from being crushed, ensuring you get clean, uniform slices every time.
Yes, the 5-inch serrated blade is excellent for any produce with a delicate interior and a firm skin, such as peaches, plums, or citrus. It also works well for slicing crusty rolls or small loaves of bread.
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel and the handle, we recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying immediately.
Full tang means the metal blade extends all the way through the handle. This design provides superior balance, stability, and durability, ensuring the knife feels sturdy and secure in your hand during use.
To protect the serrated teeth, avoid storing the knife loose in a drawer where it can rub against other utensils. A knife block, magnetic strip, or blade guard is the best way to maintain its sharpness and longevity.
