Wanted to replace a broken serrated knife that is a 6" knife. Saw this was the right size and has a good brand name. Saw similar knife on different web site but had slight difference in materials (although same brand name on knives, and sizes - the other was more than half the price of this one from Target). Purchased this one based on material quality. This knife does not cut well for my purposes: toasted crusty baguette, limes, and tomatoes - this is what I have tried it on so far. I purchased a smaller knife of another well known brand - it cuts much better, however the blade isn't long enough to work on everything I used my old broken knife for. The Henckel has a nice weight, maybe a little heavy. It just drags through the item being cut - I don't know if that is a function of the serrations being short/close together or maybe the blad is wider - either way, it doesn't cut well in my opinion and I wish I could return it but doubt I can as I had to rip into the packaging to get it out and recycled it. I have another Henckel knife and it works very well, disappointed with this one.

Terrible...not even as sharp as a 20yr old serrated utility knife I was replacing. Not sure I can still return it after 2 use, but I'm going to try. Can't believe the 4 and 5 stars reviews!

Why buy anything else. I can always count on Henckels for the best in knives. One more great addition to our cutlery.

High quality German steel cutlery does not always need to come with a huge price tag. This knife is fully forged, and a nice stylish brushed metal which has the look of a much more expensive knife. Use this daily to cut and slice vegetables, fruits, breads, rolls, and sandwiches. This knife is an invaluable tool and it definitely gets a great work out in my kitchen.

Great knife! Perfect for cutting any vegetables and fruits with multiple textures along with small bread items.

I use the serrated utility a lot in my kitchen, mostly on tomatoes, but it is best for any fruit or vegetable that has a tough outside and a soft inside. It can also be used on small rolls and small baguettes for slicing as well. The handle is very comfortable and ergonomic, which means fatigue-free cutting!
