Tomato knife or knife for tomatoes is a serrated knife that uses a serrated edge to quickly cut the sensitive skin of a tomato without crushing it. The blade will cut through the tomato without applying pressure and will not damage it. Thanks to this you can make very thin slices. A serrated knife of these dimensions can be used for many more tasks in the kitchen, such as cutting other types of vegetables, citrus and other fruits, pastries, etc.

The VG10 "super steel" core material consists of cobalt, molybdenum, vanadium and carbon. VG10 stainless steel is coated with 34 layers of soft and hard high-carbon stainless steel on each side, creating 69 layers of damascus pattern. The knife has an extremely sharp cutting edge. Under special heat treatment, super steel VG10 is able to reach an exceptional hardness rating of HRC61 on the Rockwell scale, ensuring long-lasting cutting performance.

The handle in this series is made of micarta, one of the most durable materials for making a knife handle. Micarta is obtained by carefully stacking a row of fabric and a row of resin, which after drying acquire ideal characteristics for this purpose. Unlike other materials, the micarta handle does not change over time and has no smell. Perfectly and firmly fixed with two stainless steel rivets, it provides an extreme feeling of comfort in the hand.
