WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 5" Tomato Knife
Forged serrated tomato knife with a forked tip, made in Solingen, Germany
The WÜSTHOF CLASSIC 5" Tomato Knife cuts cleanly through tomatoes, fruit, cheese, and other foods with firm skins or crusts and softer interiors. Its fine serrated edge reduces crushing, while the forked tip lifts and serves thin slices directly from the cutting board.

Wüsthof CLASSIC 5" Tomato Knife
Clean Slices Through Firm Skins
The 5.5-inch blade uses fine serrations to move through tomato skins, fruit rinds, cheese, and light crusts without compressing the food beneath them. The narrow blade remains easy to guide through small and medium ingredients.
The forked tip gives the knife a second practical use at the board or table by lifting sliced tomatoes, cheese, and fruit without reaching for another utensil.
Wüsthof CLASSIC 5" Tomato Knife
A Specialty Knife with Daily Uses
The tomato knife is useful well beyond tomatoes. Its fine serrations and forked tip make it a practical choice for breakfast fruit, cheese boards, sandwiches, small rolls, and produce that can slip or compress beneath a straight blade.

From Our Founder
"The fine serrations do the cutting without forcing the blade through the food. The forked tip is simple, but it is genuinely useful when you are slicing tomatoes, fruit, or cheese."

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Why use a tomato knife instead of a regular paring knife?
The CLASSIC Tomato Knife has a fine serrated edge that grips tomato skins without requiring excessive pressure. This helps produce clean slices through ripe tomatoes and other soft-centered ingredients that can be crushed by a less effective plain-edge knife.
What is the forked tip on the WÜSTHOF Tomato Knife for?
The forked tip lets you lift and serve tomato slices, cheese, fruit, and other prepared ingredients directly from the cutting board or plate. It makes the knife useful for both slicing and serving.
Can I use this knife for foods other than tomatoes?
Yes. Its fine serrations work well on fruit, cheese, small rolls, sandwiches, and foods with firm skins or crusts and softer interiors. The compact blade also provides control for smaller portions.
How does the Tomato Knife differ from the CLASSIC Serrated Utility Knife?
The Tomato Knife combines a fine serrated edge with a distinctive forked tip for lifting and serving slices. The Serrated Utility Knife has a conventional pointed profile suited to general slicing tasks, including rolls, sandwiches, fruit, and cured sausage.
