What Is It Good For — Does It Need Sharpening?
The evenly serrated edge excels at tomatoes, citrus, crusty bread, and soft-skinned produce, slicing cleanly without crushing. A major advantage: serrated edges hold performance far longer than straight edges and rarely need sharpening for household use.
Tomatoes and Bread Without Crushing?
Yes — the fine serrations grip and cut through delicate skins and crisp crusts with a sawing motion, leaving interiors intact. That's exactly where a straight-edge paring knife tends to slip or squash.
Serrated vs. Straight-Edge: Which to Buy?
Choose serrated (this knife) for tomatoes, bread, and low-maintenance edges; choose straight-edge for precise peeling and clean cuts on firm produce. Many cooks keep both — at $10, this is the affordable one to add.
Are Paysage Handles Dishwasher Safe?
Hand washing is recommended. Like all Opinel wood-handled knives, prolonged dishwasher exposure can dry and crack the handle and dull the edge.
