This style of knife is often called a tomato or sandwich knife, but it's so much more versatile than that description would imply. Of course, it works beautifully on most anything you would put in a sandwich - from meat to cheese to tomato slices. What's more, the serrations will handily cut the sandwich in half when it's done. Yet because of its medium size, this beautiful knife can handle many of the tasks of a small chef's knife or large paring knife, such as vegetable trimming. Many cooks also like it for taking on the tougher task of cutting through sausages with tough casings. Here's a great tip - if you only have room for one knife on your next picnic, the Shun Serrated Utility Knife would be a perfect choice because of its versatility and moderate size.
