Why your chef knife skates on tomatoes: a simple check

A knife that slides over a tomato usually needs a sharper edge, a steadier grip or a blade suited to the prep you do most. Use this check before replacing your whole block.

What to look for

  1. Check whether the edge catches the skin with light pressure instead of forcing the cut.
  2. Look for a full-tang handle and balanced weight so the wrist is not doing all the work.
  3. Choose a blade length that gives you room to rock through vegetables without feeling unwieldy.
  4. Use a stable board and keep the guiding hand’s fingertips curled away from the edge.
  5. Compare return terms before buying, because comfort and balance are personal.
