tomato knife
Soft-fruit cutter
A tomato knife is a small serrated knife designed to slice through tomato skin without crushing the soft flesh beneath.
The blade is typically 5-6 inches long with a pointed tip for piercing or coring.
The serrations grip the slick skin that would deflect a smooth blade: Use a tomato knife—a regular chef's knife will just squash it.
