Up until this most recent purchase, I have been using a bread or chef knife to slice tomatoes. Just in time for tomato season, my latest find is the tomato knife. Tomato knives are small kitchen knives that are configured especially for cutting or slicing tomatoes. The serrated edge allows the knife to slice ripe tomatoes neatly and cleanly, without squashing them. The end result is thin, uniform slices. The handle on a tomato knife may be hard wood or heavy-duty plastic and the blade is usually made of stainless steel. I did my research, checking both online and retail stores, before making my final purchase. What I learned is that you can spend as much or as little as you want on a tomato knife. I went for the “as little” option. My knife is made by Wenger (called a Breakfast Knife), is 13 cm long, dishwasher safe, cost $10.00, and I love it! After trying a tomato knife, you will never use a bread knife to slice your tomatoes again.
