The high-carbon stainless steel blades are hardened to maintain a sharp edge and full tangs provide perfect balance with riveted, high-impact composition handles. Designed much like a tomato knife, this serrated knife will cut into food with crusty or hard outsides and soft insides while leaving everything intact. Great for snack food like cheese, salami, bagels and tomatoes. Keep on handy on picnics, and wine and cheese trips. Prized possessions of professional chefs, Wusthof knives are an invaluable asset of any kitchen. In Solingen, Germany, each piece is hand-forged in 38 manufacturing steps by skilled craftsmen. Lifetime warranty. Wusthof's newest state of the art technology incorporates a new computer controlled method for putting the edge on Classic knives. This technology allows for an exacting edge from the tip of the knife down to the heel of the knife. With this newer precision, the knives are made sharper to 14 degrees per side for a total of 28 degrees. The knives are now sharper and this refinement increases the sharpness retention because exacting angles and edges last longer than edges sharpened by hand. The result is a knife that is 30% sharper and the ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) lasts twice as long.. | | | Features: | |
• Serrated blade cuts through sausages and fruit skins easily
• Forged, high-carbon stainless steel blade, hand-honed for razor-like sharpness

 They should have called it the "fruit knife"Nov 04, 2003
By ringo
In Europe, this knife is called the "sausage" or "brunch" knife. Since Americans don't usually cut baguettes or weisswurst as part of making lunch, however, Amazon has chosen to call this what it is - the serrated utility knife.
Name notwithstanding, the edge on this knife is the same as the one on the Wusthof tomato and bread knives, and the knife does in fact do splendidly on tomatoes (which aren't too terribly different from sausage) and crusty bread (as long as it is skinny french bread - get an 8-inch knife for the hefty american stuff).
Where this knife truly excels, however, is cutting citrus. The blade is long enough to handle grapefruit, and the scalloped edge will cut even kumquats and key limes without crushing the pulp.
So, I would have called this the citrus knife (or, maybe, the "soft things with a hard skin" knife). While mine doesn't get used as often as the paring or chef's knife, it's among our kitchen's top-five.

wonderfully versatile, very usefulNov 13, 2002
By A. Sandman
"asandman"
I'd like to disagree with the "may be overkill" review. I think this knife is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, especially for a college student who can't afford a wide range of equipment. The great thing about this knife is its versatility: it's perfectly sized and can take on any number of jobs, from tomatoes to meats to bread. I only have three knives (this one, the 5" non-serrated utility, and the 8" chef's knife), and even with all the cooking I do (e.g. thanksgiving for 10), I've never needed anything more than those three essentials. Sure, you may not use the serrated utility knife as often as a chef's knife or paring knife, but you will get a great deal of use out of it. A serrated knife is indespensable, and this one is certainly well worth the investment.

Bagels anyone?Jan 28, 2004
By qrkymerlot
"me"
Although a little pricey for a utility knife, this knife is a perfect addition to a starter set (I have the set #8832, includes chefs, bread, sandwich, parer, stick and shears). It cuts tomatoes and bagels like butter. It is one that you will reach for for those jobs that require delicate cutting (such as sausage without tearing the skin) without having to go for the more substantial knives.Strongly recommend as addition to a set which doesn't have this knife.

Great for everything!Oct 13, 2003
By jennifer ervin
This is one of the best knives we own. Great for slicing fruit, veggies, and meat in small or medium projects. Very sharp and the pointed end gets used often to pierce fruit for slicing. Still love my Henkel chef's knives 6" and 8" for chopping, but this is a good companion.
