Overview
A prep station where firm foods need slicing without crushing is the home turf of this small serrated utility knife from the Wusthof Classic Ikon line. The blade is forged with a full tang running into a black synthetic handle.
Serrations let the slender blade saw through firm foods without flattening them, and forged full tang construction carries steel through the handle. Serrated edges are harder to resharpen than a straight edge, and the short length limits larger slicing jobs.
Who it's for
Small slicing jobs on firm foods suit the compact serrated blade. Cooks wanting one knife for chopping herbs and dicing onions should start with a straight edged chef knife instead.

Performance notes
Each serration concentrates pressure on a small point, so the blade starts a cut in firm skins without pressing the food flat. A sawing stroke does the work instead of downward force. Full tang construction carries the steel into the handle, which steadies the blade in thicker cuts.
