Shun Premier Tsuchime Serrated Utility Knife 14cm - Gift Boxed

This style of knife is often called a tomato or sandwich knife, but its so much more versatile than that description would imply. Of course, it works beautifully on most anything you would put in a sandwichfrom meat to cheese to tomato slices. Whats more, the serrations will handily cut the sandwich in half when its done. But the Premier Serrated Utility offers something others don't. The blade edge is serrated at the front and back, but has a fine edge in the middle. This means that it's perfect for cutting foods with a tougher or more resilient exterior and a tender interior. For the initial push or pull cut, the serrations glide through the exterior with ease while the fine edge cuts through the softer interior. The combination of serrated and fine edge means you get the perfect slice no matter what you're cutting with no tearing or squashing.
