Moritz & Moritz 20 cm (7.9 in) German steel review

A 20 cm (7.9 in) serrated blade in German knife steel, sold for tomatoes and melons as well as bread — from the same range as the chef’s knife in this catalog.

What we would actually buy Sensible size, named origin, and a listing honest about the tomatoes.

What you are getting

A 20 cm (7.9 in) serrated blade in German knife steel, stated to hold its sharpness and resist rust.

The uses named

Bread, tomatoes and melon. That is an accurate list: a serrated edge starts a cut through a smooth skin that a straight blade skates off, which is why this knife ends up on a chopping board far more often than on a bread board.

Size

Twenty centimeters is right for a tin loaf and short for a large sourdough. If your bread is round and wide, look at the 30 cm (11.8 in) knife in this hub.

Maintenance

None. Serrations are ground once, and this knife will outlast the chef’s knife next to it in the block.

Availability

On sale at around $61 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

The questions that come in

Does the handle match the chef’s knife?

Moritz & Moritz sell these as a range. If a matched set matters to you, check the handle material on both listings, since ranges do vary.

How long does a serrated blade last?

Far longer than a straight one — the points do most of the work and wear slowly. Many households replace one after a decade, usually because of the handle rather than the edge.
