ZWILLING HENCKELS Classic Razor-Sharp 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife, Tomato Knife, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Black/Stainless Steel

This knife was to replace our one and only "good knife" which is better than all our crappy butcher block cheap ones and everyone in the family fights over using "the good knife". And this replacement lived up to it's predecessor! The knife we previously loved was also a J.A.Henckels but an older model that I can't seem to find again. I took a chance and ordered this one so we could have one in the dishwasher and still be able to use one.I had non of the thinness or wobbly problems other reviewers have had. It is visibly full tang and built to last! And WOW this thing is SO SHARP!I'm attaching pictures in case you too are trying to find this older style knife and want to compare. I am also attaching a picture of a yummy burger that is covered with toppings all expertly sliced with this new family favorite knife! For the burger, this J.A. Henckels knife is super universal and easily cut the hamburger bun, lettuce, extra thin onions, tomato, and kalamata olives (top with gouda for a fabulous burger)!If you are looking for an excellent, all-purpose knife, I highly recommend this knife and it's worth the money!****************** UPDATE *******************Dropped to 3 stars because it is "just okay". This knife only lasted about 7 months and is now too dull to cut a tomato. Disappointing since it's predecessor (also a J.A. Henckles) lasted for YEARS so it seemed worth the price to replace it. I paid about $32 for this knife and that's too much considering it lasted half a year. I have actually resorted to using my original J.A. Henckles knife again that this one was meant to replace, since it is now the sharper of the two.

Great knife!! Extremely sharp. Good for cutting everything. Has never dulled

Very good tomato knife that has many other uses. Very sharp and the handle is very ergonomics. Recommend for any kitchen.

We have two Henckles knife blocks. One set of Henckles knives made in China, the other set of Henckles knives made in Taiwan. The Taiwan knives are heavier than the China ones. I lost my 5” serrated knife in my last move so the knife slot was empty and I decided to fill it. I wanted it to match but the only one made in Taiwan was on eBay and not in great shape. I decided to purchase this 5” serrated knife made in Germany on Amazon. There is no comparison to the one manufactured outside of Germany. This German knife is hefty and meticulously constructed, and beyond sharp - VERY high quality. Lesson learned. All Henckle knives are not created equal so don’t get fooled just because some products share the Henckles name! Buy the authentic Henckles marked “Made in Germany.” More expensive but worth every penny.

Great knife. Just what I wanted.

Though the price was a bit dear and the knife could have a bit more heft to it, which is why I only gave it a four. But I couldn't be more pleased with the cutting ability of this knife. The sharpness and style of cutting grooves makes it easy to handle and a joy to use. If it's in the budget, I HIGHLY recommend!

I cut cherry tomatos into quarters. Often. This does a flawless job. I love this knife. I've had it probably 8 months. I bought this to replace my old one after it's blade got snapped in an unfortunate drawer misshap. It was 15 to 20 years old and working well. I hope I have this replacement as long.

cuts vegetables nice and smooth
