F. Dick Premier Plus 5-inch Tomato Knife

A ripe tomato turns to mush under a dull or straight edge, and this 5-inch Premier Plus tomato knife pierces the skin and slides through the soft flesh without crushing it. The forked tip lifts and arranges each slice.

The wave-cut serrations act like a fine saw, catching the waxy skin at once and keeping juices in the fruit. The same edge slices citrus, kiwi and soft cheese cleanly. With the forked tip, the cook can move slices of tomato or lemon onto a plate without a second tool.

It also slices sausages and soft salami, and the fork lifts slices onto a platter without a second tool.

For larger work on sandwiches and melons, the Premier Plus 5-inch serrated utility knife has a plain tip, and the 1905 5-inch serrated utility knife has the ringed 1905 handle. An offset option for tomatoes and bread is the ProDynamic 7-inch offset serrated knife.
