Serrated Kitchen Knife Set, 3 Utility Knives with Red Handles
This serrated kitchen knife set gives you three matching utility knives with silver serrated blades, straight with an angled tip, and bright red moulded handles with hanging holes. They come on a retail hanging card with a clear blister cover.
Serrated utility knives are the everyday knives for fruit, vegetables, tomatoes and bread rolls: the small teeth bite through skins and crusts that a smooth blade can slide off. Three identical knives mean one is always clean and ready, even in a busy family kitchen, and the bright red handles make them easy to find in a crowded drawer.

Why serrated
A serrated edge works like a small saw: the teeth grip and cut through tomato skins, citrus peel, crusty rolls and soft bread without squashing them. Serrated knives also stay useful for longer between sharpening than a plain edge, which makes them a practical choice for everyday kitchen jobs and packed lunches.
Use a gentle back-and-forth sawing motion and let the teeth do the work rather than pressing down hard.
Everyday jobs
Slice tomatoes for a sandwich or salad, halve and segment oranges and lemons, cut apples and pears for a lunch box, trim vegetables, slice soft cheese, and split bread rolls and bagels. With three knives in the serrated kitchen knife set, one can stay in the kitchen drawer, one in the picnic bag and one with the fruit bowl.
Bright red handles
Red handles are easy to spot in a drawer, on a chopping board or in a picnic basket, so the knives are less likely to be lost or thrown away by mistake. The moulded grips give a secure hold, and the hanging holes let you store them on hooks or a rail.
Safe handling and storage
Always cut on a chopping board, away from your fingers, and keep the knives out of reach of children. Do not leave knives in a sink of washing-up water where they cannot be seen. Store them on a hook by the hanging hole, in a knife block or with a blade guard in the drawer.
Cleaning
Wash the knives by hand in warm soapy water straight after use, wiping from the back of the blade towards the edge, then rinse and dry them. Hand washing keeps the serrated edge sharp and the handles in good condition. Dry them before storing so the blades stay clean and bright.
Good value for every kitchen
A serrated kitchen knife set of three is a sensible buy for a family kitchen, a student flat, an office kitchen, a caravan or a picnic box, and it is handy to have spares when cooking with children or for a barbecue. The bright, matching handles keep the set together.
Matching knife to task
A serrated utility knife is the right tool for foods with a firm skin and a soft inside, such as tomatoes, peppers, citrus fruit, kiwi, plums and bread rolls. For chopping onions, herbs and raw meat, a straight-edged chef’s knife is usually better. Keeping a serrated kitchen knife set alongside one good chef’s knife covers almost everything a home cook needs.
Packed lunches and picnics
Small serrated knives are ideal for slicing fruit, cheese and rolls when you are away from the kitchen. Wrap one in a clean napkin or use a blade guard, and keep it in a separate pocket of the picnic bag. Because there are three, you can keep one in the picnic kit and still have two at home.
Keeping the knives sharp
Serrated knives keep cutting well for a long time because the points of the teeth do most of the work. Cutting on a wooden or plastic chopping board, never on glass, stone or metal, protects the teeth from going blunt. Washing by hand rather than in a dishwasher also helps the edge last. A serrated kitchen knife set looked after this way gives years of service.
Cooking with children
When older children start helping in the kitchen, a small serrated knife is easier to control than a large chef’s knife for jobs like slicing soft fruit, cucumber or bread rolls. Always supervise them, teach them to keep fingers tucked away from the blade, and use a board that will not slip. The bright red handles make the knives easy to spot and put away safely afterwards.
Which knife for bread?
For a large crusty loaf, a long bread knife is easiest, but for bread rolls, bagels, baguette slices and soft sandwich bread, a serrated utility knife does the job neatly. Saw gently through the crust without pressing down, and the roll keeps its shape. With three knives in the serrated kitchen knife set, there is always one ready for breakfast or a packed lunch.
