Great serrated knife

This is a great lightweight serrated utility blade, perfect for slicing tomatoes, fruits, english muffins, anything small while being able to still use a cutting board.
This little serrated utility knife is what you need to add to your block/drawer. I like the Four Star handle because it is so traditionally weighted and comfortable. And the size of the serrated blade is one that is essential for cutting any small to medium sized foods that have a tough exterior and soft interior.
I was at my parents while she was preparing a meal. She has the Four Star set but was using this knife for everything she did. I asked why she was only using that knife? Her response was this is my favorite knife. I use it for everything.
The handle of this knife I just received is lighter than my originals, the plastic differs, it throws the balance off. I have the original set I purchased in the late 1980’s, including one of the two Four Star 5” Serrated Utilities. I’ll be stopping by a cutlery retailer to see if the engineering changed or it is this distributor. It is noticeable without weighing, but I did weigh it to be sure.
I had my five inch serrated utility knife (AKA tomato slicer) since my parents gave us a Henkel set back in the 1970s, and was really sad when I took it to a meeting to slice a cake I was sharing and lost it. It is, as others have said, the most useful knife in the set. I was thrilled to be able to find the same knife that matched my old set perfectly! These really are great knives.
Four Star 5" Serrated is a most utilitarian knife. Feels very comfortable to use - well proportioned handle-to-knife size (I'm 7 women glove size). I use for everything needing serrated edge and other uses including cutting veggies. Wanted second serrated knife so, tried Classic 5" Serrated Knife but returned because handle is way too small to grip and knife is smaller size. Bought a second of the Four Star 5" Serrated.
I got my first one over 10 yrs. ago after finding out how they were made an was truly impressed with the warranty as well as the product. Soon after I got a butcher block and customize my own set along with a large sharpening steel & 2 types of scissors. One of my saddest days was opening a box after moving into my new apartment and finding one of my favorites, my 5" serrated broken..., it was a good run an I was a little sick until I got it replaced.
