SERRATED KNIFE

Serrated knives have small ridges along the bottom that make them ideal for slicing breads and baked goods. They have a rounded tip and a rigid blade. Unlike other knives, this is one knife that works just as well when made from stamped, rather than forged, metal. Look for a long blade, one that is at least 20cm (8in) long, as this will make it easier to slice larger cakes and breads.
