The media could not be loaded. As it’s name implies, a tomato knife is designed especially for slicing through tomatoes, but this type of knife can also be used for slicing through rolls, bagels, and buns. Because tomatoes and bread generally have delicate, softer insides, they can be a bit more challenging to slice through cleanly without squishing the middle and ruining the look of the item. This knife was designed with a very sharp serrated edge, which allows the knife to penetrate the tomatoes’ skin quickly and with a minimum of pressure without crushing the flesh. On crusty breads the serrations allow the knife to cut neatly through the crust leaving the middle soft and fluffy. This makes not only the final presentation of the sandwich more appealing, but it also allows for better construction of the sandwich itself. Condiments, when spread onto the cut portion of the bread, can penetrate better into the airiness of the softer bread inside. That means that when adding lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, etc. everything stays inside the sandwich better when that first bite is taken, rather than shooting out the side.This knife also has a forked tip that allows the user to lift and move the tomato slices after they have been cut. It’s an easy way to transfer the slices from cutting board to sandwich or to a presentation tray for a buffet.Another nice addition to this knife is that it comes with it's own sheath to help protect the edge integrity of the the knife when not in use.This knife is considered full tang, meaning that a single piece of steel runs the entire length of the knife and the handle is riveted to this. That gives this knife incredible balance and strength. The rivets are smooth and do not protrude from the handle, allowing for exceptional stability and a comfortable, safe grip. The handle itself is a black pakkawood handle imported from Spain that is laminated for extra strength, sanitation and water/stain resistance.I choose to hand wash this knife with a light dish soap if needed and then wipe dry with a towel.If you are planning to give this as a gift, the knife comes in beautiful presentation box. I have been using knives from the Dalstrong line for many years now, and I have never once been disappointed by their superior construction, quality and performance. This knife lived up to every expectation I have come to expect from the Dalstrong line.

Hard to imagine that a tomato knife could be so wonderful, but this kitchen tool is exceptional!First of all, it is smartly and robustly crafted with its steel blade running the full length of the knife (full tang). Indeed, its beautiful wood handle is appropriately attached to the steel blade with thee strong pins. The knife will feel great in your hand, as its very well balanced.If you're looking to buy a gift for a "foodie," or anyone who appreciates well-made kitchen tools, this handsomely crafted tomato knife (and its protective sheath) will delight its new owner. (Not to be overlooked - its packaging is upscale, so you know you have a quality product in your hand before you even open it!)While you probably haven't considered this, it's not hard to imagine this beautifully crafted knife being handed down through several generations of family. (BTW, did I mention that it cuts tomatoes beautifully!?)

Whether, you're a gourmet chef, an at home cook, or someone who just loves quality knives, then this knife is for you! Not only, is this an awesome knife for slicing, it's a work of art. The blade is precision forged and thin, making slicing and dicing a breeze. With its full tang blade and serrated edge, you can thinly slice anything from tomatoes, to dried sausage. The blade has a mirror finish and is etched with the Dalstrong logo, Gladiator Series. The handle is beautifully polished and laminated pakkawood, with triple rivets for added strength. The center rivet is also etched with the Dalstrong logo, making the knife stand out, amongst others of similar quality. With its perfectly balanced, ambidextrous handle, this knife is a pleasure to use. I would highly recommend this knife for any cook, or quality knife collector.

Very high quality knife, but not for tomatoes. The serrations are too small and the knife does more sawing than slicing. An excellent steak knife.

My husband bought be the knife block for Christmas and I was ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at how wonderful the knives were. The sharpness, precision and weight is unparalleled by any other manufacturer, and the price is amazing for the high quality knives you receive. There were even a couple knives in the block set which I had not owned in the past that I never knew I needed so much - haha!! (Especially the kiritsuke) Since then I have purchased additional knives to add to the set both in the Gladiator as well as the Shogun Series. I have recommended these to many of my friends and family...thank you Dalstrong!!
