Although the serrated edge of the Wusthof Amici All-Purpose Serrated Utility Knife is inspired by the juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes that southern Italy is famous for, consider this nimble knife an effective slicer for almost anything in your kitchen -- from fresh and aged cheeses to cured meats , fruits, vegetables, soft dinner rolls, and crusty baguettes. The serrated blade slices cleanly and elegantly without crushing or tearing, and a full bolster, the thicker area between the blade and the handle on forged knives, offers added protection for your fingers. The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle is naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, and its organic shape fits comfortably in hands of any size.
