Although the serrated edge of the All-Purpose Serrated Utility Knife is inspired by the juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes that southern Italy is famous for, consider this nimble knife an effective slicer for almost anything in your kitchen -- from fresh and aged cheeses to cured meats, fruits, vegetables, soft dinner rolls, and crusty baguettes.

The serrated blade slices cleanly and elegantly without crushing or tearing, and a full bolster offers added protection for your fingers. The custom-grained Calabrian olive wood handle is naturally water-resistant and antibacterial, and its organic shape fits comfortably in hands of any size.

• Wash by hand and immediately towel-dry. 
• Avoid using abrasive sponges or leaving your knife soaking in the sink. 
• Safely store your knife using a storage solution. 
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as metal, glass or hardwoods like bamboo.
• Regular honing is essential to keep your knife performing at its best. 
• Sharpen as needed using a whetstone, sharpening steel, or hand-held knife sharpener. 
• Treat wooden handles periodically using a food-grade mineral oil to polish and restore the wood to its original luster.
