HENCKELS Statement Razor-Sharp 5-inch Serrated Utility Knife, Tomato Knife, German Engineered Informed by 100+ Years of Mastery, Black/Stainless Steel

This is a great little knife. Well made. I bought it to cut tomatoes and other veggies and small meats. It works great. Very sharp. The serrated blade really makes a difference when cutting something like a tomato.

Love this knife. Sharpest knife I've ever had straight out of the box. I'm able to EASILY cut my sausage into 3/32 of an inch. The knife is cartoonishly sharp. The handle is well balanced and makes the blade easy to maneuver. An incredible value for your money.

Nice and sharp

So I recently have bought 4 new knives, three lower end Henckles (NOT Zwilling Henckles which are the good German steel/ two figures in the logo— don’t compare the Henckles with one figure, those are Henckles and their low end models). So, this serrated knife is bit bigger than I thought it would be, but I’m happy about that. It will be great for smaller bread loaves, grapefruits/citrus, tomatoes of course, and whatever is smaller than you would need a full size bread knife/serrated edge for. The steel is a bit of a more brittle steel, this will break if you smack it wrong I can tell already. However, this is a respectable $11 knife. The handle has a nice weight to it, the rivets are smooth, it has a full tang and is altogether a very OK blade. Note- this is a a Solutions model made in INDIA— not China. I mention this because the paring knife I got from Henckles that was made in China, was much inferior. The steel seemed even cheaper, the handle edges were almost sharp/ not very comfortable and very scuffed. This India made knife is also not finished to perfection, but it is overall a step up from the China one. I would buy another Henckle that is India made if I needed another knock around knife, I wouldn’t buy the China made one. The Spain made paring knife shown in the photo is also NOT the same as my Zwilling Henckles German made knife. The handle it much lighter, and the balance on the Spain and India made knives are a bit off and too light in the blade. This is more disappointing in the Classic paring knife as it was $27, which is still less than the Zwilling model/German made blade (about $45 usually) , so these are an actual mid grade knife bc the Spain made knife is German steel, just not the quality German steel. Now, if you are in the market for a knock about knife and don’t want to pay much/aren’t looking for especially great quality, the India made knife is the way to go. Skip the China made Henckles unless you literally find one for $5 or less, are fine sharpening it frequently and don’t plan to keep it long. (My good Zwillings are going on 27 years now, and only a paring knife has needed to be replaced due to a tip snapping off, I need to return that to Henckles). Another brand that popped up were Hammer Stahls, which are tempting bc they are made with the same German steel as Wusthof Tridents (which doesn’t make them the same, but you’re in the ballpark). The HS’s LOOK well designed and made, and you will think they are a deal, but they aren’t. The steel is nice, but the handle has 8 rivets that stick up annoyingly, the handle is too short even for my small hands, and the balance is way off. Horrible, horrible design. Go with the Henckle Classics made in Spain instead. The steel isn’t quite as nice, but the handle build and feel will make up for it. If you must have the good German steel but don’t want to pay Henckle prices, go with the Scan Pan knives over the Hammer Stahls. Scan Pan makes amazing cookware, their knives are reasonably priced, good steel and scored very well in independent tests. TLDR- India made Henckles are a good value for the low price, if you want a little better quality go with the Spain made Classics. Avoid true China made Henckles at all costs unless you pay $5 or less and have zero appreciation/care for quality cutlery and will just abuse it. Check out Scan Pan knives for a huge steel upgrade, comfortable design, good build, and still reasonably priced. Avoid Hammer Stahl due to extremely poor machining and design/not comfy in the hand, definitely not for larger hands.

I have used Henckels knives for many years and enjoy the quality of them.

I was looking for a good mid size serrated knife and this fit the bill. I love it and use it daily. It stays sharp, washes up in the dishwasher like new and has been reliable. Henckels makes the best knives!

Very sharp, be careful not to slice your finger. Easy to use keep clean and a good weight. Glad a got this one.

It is sharp. The blade is stiff and well shaped. The handle is a good design but very poorly finished, edges are almost sharp. If the knife was properly finished it would be a 5.

Very Happy with this product

Only ever buy Zwilling and Henckels knives, best quality.
