Description

If you reach for a serrated knife on the daily – for sandwiches, tofu, tomatoes, bagels – this pint-sized version is the one to keep at hand. If you’ve got smaller hands, this size might be more comfortable than the 8" classic. It’s a staff favorite.

We updated our Blue and Red colors in November 2023 with a more vibrant finish that will give any kitchen a pop of color with a timeless quality.

Why it's great

  • Japanese Aus10 Steel: Ultra-high carbon content means it’ll stay sharp and hold its edge longer than German steel. This makes cutting easier and way, way safer. And you won’t need to sharpen it as often, so it requires less maintenance than other high end knives. 
  • Ergonomic, Sloped Bolster: Designed to naturally guide your hand to the most comfortable and safe grip.
  • Blade Thickness: Delicate enough for burger-perfect tomato slices – that is, thin but not flimsy – but with enough weight to glide through the hard crust of a bagel.
  • Wave-like Serration Pattern: Most serrated knives have sharp, pointy teeth. Our unique wavy blade design has slightly rounded tips (like a deli meat slicer), so it more gently glides through food with fewer, smoother strokes.
  • Sleek, Durable, Comfortable Handle: Wood cracks and breeds germs. Plastic is slippery and doesn’t last. Our handles are crafted from POM, a thermoplastic known for strength and comfort. And the shape is as ergonomic as it is cool looking. Win, win! 
  • Rockwell Scale: This is a nerdy steel rating – the ideal range is 58-60. Lower, the knife will be soft, hence, inefficient; higher, the knife could be prone to chipping. Ours is 58. Just right.

What Makes Misen Great

Using a short 6.5 inch blue serrated knife to cut a bagel in half.

Never Needs Sharpening

A knife that won’t lose its edge. Plus, Misen knives are made with AICHI steel, which offers an excellent balance of sharp edge retention and durability.

Using a blue short 6.5 serrated knife to supreme a blood orange.

Better Comfort, More Control

Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.

Using a short 6.5 inch blue serrated knife to cut a sesame bagel sandwich containing sprouts, tomato, and cream cheese in half.

No Smushed Bread or Tomatoes

Our blade features 18 tips with deep and wide serrations for optimal “bite” and smoother cuts, to protect delicate food.

    Easy to use

    It is quite sharp and a good size for anything you would use a serrated knife for -- we use it mostly for slicing fruit (lemons, limes, tomatoes, avocado)
