Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife

Fine serrations let the Wüsthof Classic Ikon 5-inch serrated utility knife bite into a tomato skin, the crust of a baguette or the waxy peel of a lemon without crushing what is underneath. It is the small serrated knife for breakfast and lunch, slicing bagels, splitting rolls and cutting through dry sausage.

Serrations keep working long after a plain edge has dulled, which makes this knife a useful companion to a chef’s knife that is saved for prep. Ikon’s rounded handle feels steady whether you wrap your hand around it or pinch the blade.

For larger loaves, see the Classic Ikon 9-inch double-serrated bread knife. For straight-edged slicing at a similar length, the Classic Ikon 4.5-inch utility knife. The Classic 5-inch serrated utility knife has this blade on the original riveted handle with a full bolster. Our Kitchen Knife Shapes guide explains when a serrated blade is the better choice.

    Care

    Wash by hand in warm, soapy water right after use and dry it immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking. Hone it regularly on a steel and sharpen it when honing no longer restores the edge. Cut on wood or plastic boards, never on glass, stone or metal.
