Tomato knife

The tomato knife answers a precise kitchen need: cleanly slicing a smooth, firm skin without crushing the flesh or spilling the juice. Its short serrated blade, often fitted with a forked tip to pick up and serve slices, makes it a practical tool for catering professionals and everyday cooking alike. Our Tomato knife section includes reliable models suited to regular use.

Choosing the right tomato knife

Plain or serrated blade?

Serration is the tomato knife's key asset: it bites through the skin without excessive pressure, where a plain blade tends to slip or crush the fruit. For very ripe tomatoes and thin-skinned vegetables alike, a fine, even micro-serration delivers a clean cut and slices of consistent thickness.

What is the forked tip for?

Many tomato knives end in a two-pronged point. It lets you lift and place slices straight onto the plate or dish without damaging them, a handy move during quick service as well as at the table. The handle, in technical plastic or wood depending on the model, should offer a secure grip, even with wet hands.
