The 5” Meridian Elite Scalloped Utility Knife is a compact powerhouse with a bite. Its scalloped serrations grip and glide through foods that tend to squish under straight blades—think tomatoes, citrus, bagels, and charcuterie. Precision-forged in Germany from high-carbon stainless steel, it holds its edge longer and handles like a dream. The balance, control, and sharpness make it your daily prep MVP, from breakfast spreads to picnic-ready snacks. Once it’s in your rotation, you won’t want to prep without it.

This little razor blade is

"This little razor blade is quite the addition to my set. It's beautifully balanced, super light, and cuts with terrifying ease. Not the most useful of blades for everyday use, but when you reach for it you know that it can handle anything you throw at it without tiring you out or becoming uncomfortable to hold."
