Customer Reviews for Henckels Christopher Kimball 5.5 in. Stainless Steel German Serrated Prep Knife

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is quite sharp right out of the box. I'm more accustomed to a heavier 8" chefs knife, so the smaller and lighter knife will take some getting used to. The first thing I used my new 5.5" prep knife on was a sweet onion. I was unable to slice through the onion as I normally would. Instead, I had to saw through the onion and it was a bit unwieldy with the thin blade. Chopping and dicing the onion wasn't too enjoyable with this knife either. Next I I sliced and diced a fresh 3 × 6 tomato and it was simply wonderful. For my final test I sliced a lime into wedges and again it was a joy to use. So, this certainly will not be replacing my chef knife. It will, however, be a nice addition to my collection and I'll probably use it every day at work and often at home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it so far. Is light weight, cuts lettuce finely and tomatoes very thin. Pretty sharp. So far so good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife has a great feel and weight for it's size. Very sharp!

No matter how you hold this knife, it always cuts at an angle instead of straight up and down. Just a piece of junk for the money. Do not buy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After searching dozens of reviews for a serrated knife, I chose the Henckels because it was 5.5 inches instead of 5 and I liked the shape of the blade and handle. It has been working great so far - especially for cutting skin on chicken, salmon, tomatoes, and pretty much anything in my kitchen. When my chef's knife isn't clean or I am cutting something smaller, this has become my go to for cutting almost everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first knife purchase in many years. It's wonderful to have a new, very sharp knife. Handle is comfortable in my hand; blade size is perfect for most tasks. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the size knife I was missing. I like the serrated edge. My new favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Serrated blade is nice and grippy for cutting through a tomato without pushing down too much. Nice to have a small compact serrated blade.

Best prep knife I have ever used. Perfectly balanced, excellent cutting edge and fairly priced. In fact, I now have 2!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great for more than prep, this little knife does it all. I love having one basic life to handle a meal from start to finish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife is easy to use. The blade size is perfect for me.

When we want a quality knife we go first to Zwilling/JA Henkels. First bought one in Germany in the 70's. This current knife is a perfect size for my wife to use in a variety of kitchen jobs. Lives up to the excellence that we have come to expect from this company. Be aware that the "fine edge" is actually a serrated edge. Kinda surprised us when we got it as we thought it would be a straight edge as on all the other knives we have bought from the company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This knife really does it all. Super versatile, cuts well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been looking for a medium size serrated knife forever! So glad to have found this one. Fits my hand perfectly. Very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect utility knife to have in the kitchen. Great to cut veggies and fruits, especially tomatoes and kiwis. You can also use it to cut up meats like chicken. This is the perfect size - not too big and not too small. My teens are also able to use this to help with meal prep. Great addition to your knife collection!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serrated edge is just what I needed. My current knives cannot slice as clean and easy as this one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The size and weight are ideal for any culinary purpose. Handle comfortable and knife balanced. Cuts through everything we put before it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of the Milk Street serrated knife is excellent! Just the right weight. Comfortable handle. Slices through vegetables and fruit like a dream. I use it every day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is supposed to hold its sharp edge without the need for sharpening. It fits comfortably in my small hand, is lightweight yet firm and cuts things easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the size of this knife for many purposes while cooking. It is a nice weight and easy to handle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have small hands and find most chefs knives to be just too big and cumbersome. This knife is just the perfect size and I use it for almost everything. A big bonus that it never has to be sharpened like my other knives. This one is my go-to and all time favorite.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The serrated prep knife is perfect for cutting tomatoes into beautiful, perfect slices!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome knife! Sleek styling and excellent craftsmanship! Lightweight and ease of handling make this a great addition to my kitchen tools.

This serrated prep knife does SO MUCH in the kitchen! It's comparable to a small chef knife, but has a serrated blade. That's handy and necessary for cutting foods with hard exteriors, soft interiors...think breads, tomatoes, citrus, even stringy meats. It's forged, made of German stainless steel in Spain, another country known for making great cutlery. A great addition to any kitchen.

The Classic knife line is a value option from the Zwilling family of cutlery. Made in Spain, with European steel. The serrated Prep knife shape is versatile and effective. Serration helps when cutting a tough outer layer with soft interior food.

This knife is awesome because it is a great value and made in Spain! The fully forged construction gives you some extra durability too. This 5.5 inch serrated prep is wonderful for slicing citrus fruits and also a great tomato knife. It really makes life easier.

The Classic knife line is well, Classic. Well balanced, 3 rivet handled with a full bolster this is a great knife to have in your kitchen. Made from German steel in Spain this is a great knife for the value. This serrated prep knife designed by Christopher Kimball is a great addition to any knife collection. Use this for tomatoes, citrus fruit, salami and small loaves of bread.

This prep knife is designed in collaboration with Christopher Kimball of Milk Street fame. The serrated edge is good for tomatoes, citrus fruit, and other items with a firm exterior but soft inside. The wide heel of blade also allows use on a cutting board in place of a larger chef's knife. Forged from German stainless steel, with a comfortable handle for all your medium cutting tasks.

Good forged serrated knife. If Christopher Kimball approves it must be good. The small serration is good for anything with a tough skin like tomatoes or sausage, but also great for small loaves or rolls with a crusty exterior. Super sharp. Comfortable handle.
