A useful addition to any cutlery collection, this tomato knife by Wusthof features a 5-inch-long serrated blade for smooth slicing without unnecessary pressure, along with a two-prong tip that makes it easy to transfer slices from the cutting board to a plate or platter. Overall, the knife measures approximately 7-1/2 by 1/2 by 1/2 inches. As part of the Wusthof Ikon collection, the knife comes precision forged from a single piece of high-carbon steel to ensure outstanding strength and balance.
