Serrated Knife
Also called a bread knife, it has a long blade with saw-like teeth. The serrations grip and slice through items with tough exteriors and soft interiors—think crusty bread, tomatoes, or citrus. Rather than pushing down hard, you use a gentle back-and-forth sawing motion to prevent crushing delicate surfaces. It’s ideal whenever you need a clean cut on something that might squish under a straight-edge blade.
