Ask a Question About This Product
A 21cm serrated utility knife with stainless steel blade and cream polymer handle. Used in commercial prep kitchens for slicing bread, tomatoes, and soft-skinned produce without crushing. Serrated edge maintains cutting performance through high-volume service periods.
Commercial Application
Utility knives bridge the gap between chef knives and paring knives in commercial prep workflow. The serrated edge cuts through crusty bread and delicate tomato skins without applying downward pressure that damages product presentation. Common in sandwich stations, salad prep areas, and breakfast service lines.
Operators use this knife for tasks requiring sawing motion rather than push-cutting. The 21cm blade length handles baguettes, ciabatta, and large tomatoes in single passes. Serrations reduce the frequency of professional sharpening required during peak service periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the blade?
A: Karaca specifies stainless steel construction with corrosion resistance suitable for commercial food contact. Specific steel grade (304 or 430) available on request for compliance documentation. CE certification confirms material meets UK and EU food safety standards.
Q: Can this knife handle high-volume bread cutting during breakfast service?
A: The serrated edge is designed for repeated bread cutting without frequent resharpening. 21cm blade length handles standard baguettes and sandwich loaves. Hand-wash specification maintains edge geometry better than machine washing.
Q: Is the handle suitable for commercial dishwasher cycles?
A: Manufacturer recommends hand wash only. High-temperature dishwasher cycles may degrade handle bond and blade temper over time. Manual cleaning extends service life in commercial operations.
Q: What is the typical replacement cycle for this knife in commercial use?
A: Depends on cutting volume and cleaning protocol adherence. Kitchens processing 50-100 sandwiches daily typically replace serrated utility knives every 12-18 months. Edge damage from improper cutting surfaces accelerates replacement need.
Q: Are volume discounts available for multi-site restaurant groups?
A: Yes. TurcoBazaar provides volume pricing for orders of 10 units or more. Contact for consolidated freight quotation and staggered delivery to multiple UK or international locations.
