I thought the tomatoes had tough skins until I bought the tomato slicer. It is beautiful & makes short work of the slicing. It's hard to find bright red delicious tomatoes grown in FL, so when I came upon these, I had to have them. Now with the slicer, I can get the exact width of slices for my BLTs. What a pleasant wonder to have a knife so sharp & precise!
I bought a set of 2 of these knives 22 yrs ago.It was the tomato slicer and a parer.These knives slice today like they did the day I bought them.I have never sharpened them.They cut great.I use the tomato slicer for everything.It is my go to knive.
Yes, we use it for salad making and others slicing operations. It has a place in my knife drawer because it will thin slice most anything particularly vegetables. I have boning knives, cleavers, chef knives, boners, Filet knives. This one I use to prepare every meal! Tomatoes need this knife as do cucumbers, radishes, onions and light preparations. I'm odering three more. I like to give what I like most. Thus us a friendly present.
