Curious about carbon-steel knives? Watch our review:
WINNING TRAITS OF A GOOD SERRATED KNIFE

- Thinner blade angle
- Comfortable, grippy handle
- Medium weight
- Roughly 10-inch length
WHAT WE EXAMINED
CUTTING: We rated each knife on how well it halved cake layers widthwise and sliced through tomatoes, bread (soft and crusty), and loaded BLT sandwiches. Points were awarded for crisp, tidy cuts that required minimal effort.
COMFORT: We evaluated the ergonomics, grippiness, length, and weight of each knife; those that were comfortable and secure rated highest.
EDGE RETENTION: We used each knife to slice squishy, tactile tomatoes at the beginning and end of testing; those that started and stayed sharp rated highest.
AVERAGE SERRATION WIDTH AND DEPTH: We pressed each knife’s nonbeveled side into Silly Putty, measured three serrations on each knife with calipers, and calculated an average for each knife.
America's Test Kitchen is a real 2,500 square foot test kitchen located just outside of Boston that is home to more than three dozen full-time cooks and product testers. Our mission is simple: to develop the absolute best recipes for all of your favorite foods. To do this, we test each recipe 30, 40, sometimes as many as 70 times, until we arrive at the combination of ingredients, technique, temperature, cooking time, and equipment that yields the best, most-foolproof recipe.
