Best of the Best
Dalstrong
Tomato Slicer Knife - Gladiator Series - German HC Steel - 5" - Serrated Utility
Check Price
Bottom Line

This knife gets high marks for its durability, performance, and ergonomic design.

Pros

With a blade made of high-carbon German steel, this knife really holds its razor-sharp edge. Its full tang and contoured, triple-riveted pakkawood handle give it easy maneuverability, comfort, and reassuring heft. The speared end makes it especially useful for transferring those thin slices of tomato from cutting board to burger or plate.

Cons

The only real con is that this knife is twice the price of most of its competitors.

This knife may not hold its edge as well as others.

Best Bang for the Buck

Check Price
Bottom Line

This affordable knife comes with a razor-sharp edge that slices like a dream.

Pros

This handy little knife comes with a super sharp blade that cuts through tomatoes, bread rolls, and other tough to slice foods easily. It also comes with a protective sheath to keep the blade sharp and help prevent injury.

Cons

So lightweight that it feels a bit flimsy and the blade is not long enough for bigger jobs.

Check Price
Bottom Line

A sharp, lightweight serrated knife that is a joy to use.

Pros

The thin steel blade arrives sharp and holds its edge well over time. The small size makes this knife lightweight and easy to handle – it's a great knife to use when control is a priority.

Cons

The plastic handle can be difficult to hold onto, especially when wet.

Rada Cutlery
Tomato Slicing Knife – Stainless Steel Blade With Aluminum Handle
Check Price
Bottom Line

At under $7, this affordable little knife wins points for it's sharp-edged utility.

Pros

This handy little knife comes at an almost-too-good-to-be-true price, but still cuts tomatoes and other soft foods with ease. Not only that, but the sharp edge lasts and lasts. To sweeten the deal, this little workhorse is made in America and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Cons

The thin blade is flexible so it only works on soft foods like tomatoes, fruit, or bread, and the knife is not dishwasher safe.

    Slicing tomatoes is serious business, since they’re such a versatile food. A serrated knife is a knife with “teeth.” Since tomatoes have soft flesh, these knives ensure a clean cut without damaging the surface or shape of the tomato. Serrated vegetable knives are typically made of high-carbon stainless steel, though ceramic blades also exist. Some come with a sheath, which is handy to protect hands when the knife isn’t in use. Blades on these knives are typically four inches, though some are longer. Handles can be made of pakkawood (a type of plywood), rubberized or hard plastic, or aluminum. It’s a good idea to check the ergonomics and weight of a serrated tomato knife, particularly if you suffer from repetitive stress injuries or arthritis.
