Engineered to exacting standards, Calphalon Precision Series Cutlery stays sharp over 20% longer than Calphalon Contemporary cutlery. Blades are precisely tapered for optimal edge retention and deliver exceptional performance when chopping, slicing, mincing and more. Knives are fully forged from high-carbon, no-stain German steel and feature a full tang for better balance and strength and unique, bar-riveted handles. Each knife is also conveniently labeled on the end of the handle for easy identification in the block. The 6-in. Serrated Utility Knife is designed to slice tomatoes, citrus fruits, sandwiches and crusty breads with ease. Serrated edges are ideal for foods with both hard and soft textures. For best results, use a continuous sawing action to effectively cut through the hard exterior without crushing or bruising the softer interior.
