Kitchen knife PINTINOX PICAS 21 cm with serrated edge

PINTINOX PICAS 21 cm kitchen knife with a serrated edge is designed for controlled slicing of bread, tomatoes and foods with a firm crust and soft interior. The 21 cm stainless steel blade combines a serrated profile with a stable spine to cut through crusts and delicate flesh without crushing or tearing. The knife is balanced for everyday kitchen tasks and is suitable for both home cooks and professional kitchens seeking repeatable portioning and clean slices.

Advantages

The serrated edge maintains cutting performance over time and reduces the need for frequent sharpening compared with plain edges. Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and simple cleaning. The 21 cm blade length provides reach for larger loaves while remaining manoeuvrable for smaller items. The blade geometry and serration pattern are intended to produce even slices and minimise pressure on soft foods.

How to use

Hold the knife with a firm, comfortable grip and use a gentle back-and-forth sawing motion to let the serrations engage the crust or skin before slicing through the interior. For best results, stabilise the item on a cutting board and avoid pressing down hard; the serrated profile will do the work. After use, wash the knife by hand or follow manufacturer cleaning guidance to preserve the blade surface and serration geometry.

Usage recommendations

Store the knife in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the serrated edge. When sharpening becomes necessary, use a tool or service suited for serrated blades to maintain the original serration shape and performance.
