Wusthof Amici 5" Serrated Utility Knife

Although the serrated edge of the 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 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.
