  • Other than possibly tomatoes (!) I really can't imagine what I might use a Victorinox tomato knife for.

    What am I missing?

  • I'm not a fan (said without having one) but have the more stabby opinel one, I see the greater length and curve would be an advantage, but anything done is with the left hand compensation

  • In my experience slicing your finger. I think I’ve used one ten times and cut myself three times. Don’t think I’m particularly clumsy.

  • I’ve got about 4 in the drawer.
    Occasionally for some fruit and veg, but mainly as a sandwich / butter knife.

    Spreading butter, Cutting messy, sticky things like Nutella, peanut butter, cheesy toasties.
    And then throw it in the dishwasher, rather than having to hand wash.

    Also not at all precious with them, so I’ll happily use it on a ceramic plate, to avoid spreading mess.

    I’ve got a pointy Victorinox tomato knife version as well, which often gets used for opening food packaging, and chucking in the sink.

  • Super versatile, like a serrated paring knife.

    Bagels, any fruit or veg, boxes & packaging. It just chews through anything. Including, like @root mentioned, everyone in my family's finger at some point.

  • With a small child I'm chopping lots of fruit, veg, meat into bite size portions. Tomato knife means I can chop straight on the plate with no concern about what it's doing to the blade.

    Also a mini bread knife for bagels, rolls, malt loaf, etc
