Slices even ripe tomatoes without unnecessary crushing
A ripe tomato is a difficult task for an ordinary, slightly dull knife. A smooth blade may slide over the skin and, when more pressure is applied, crush the soft flesh. The Kanetsune KC-093 uses a fine serrated edge that grips the skin and allows the ingredient to be cut with a gradual, smooth sawing motion.
Thanks to its short blade and low weight, the knife is easy to control when preparing salads, platters and small snacks. In addition to tomatoes, the manufacturer also recommends it for lemons, oranges, grapefruits, kiwi, baguettes and steak.
Precise cutting control
The 80 mm blade is easy to position on smaller fruit. It allows you to prepare thin slices, wedges and small portions according to the serving style.
Thin stainless-steel blade
The 420J2 stainless-steel blade is only 1 mm thick. Its narrow profile reduces resistance when passing through food and makes smooth slicing easier.
Practical handle
The PP resin handle is lightweight and suitable for everyday work in the home kitchen.

What ingredients is it suitable for?
How to use the knife
Place the edge against the skin and guide the knife with a short, light back-and-forth motion. Do not press down with the full weight of your hand – the teeth should grip the surface on their own.
Cut on a wooden or plastic cutting board. Hard surfaces made of glass, ceramic, stone or metal can damage the fine serrated edge.
Knife care
- After use, wash the blade by hand with a soft sponge.
- Dry the knife thoroughly immediately.
- Do not put it in the dishwasher.
- Do not leave it in water or a damp sink for long periods.
- Store it so that the edge does not touch other metal objects.

- The knife is not intended for cutting bones or frozen food.
- Keep your fingers away from the path of the serrated edge while working.
- Keep the knife out of reach of children.
- Do not sharpen the serrated edge like a conventional smooth blade.
- We recommend entrusting edge restoration to an experienced sharpener.
