The 5-inch Serrated Knife is built for the small, everyday jobs that a bigger blade can't handle gracefully — halving a sandwich, coring a tomato without crushing it, or slicing a Sunday bagel cleanly in half. Its AUS-8 steel and wave-style serrations bite into crusty or slick surfaces without tearing, while the compact 5-inch blade makes it especially comfortable for smaller hands or tight cutting boards.
Since this size focuses on precision rather than power, it's a natural companion to a larger workhorse blade like the 8" Chef's Knife or the more agile 6.5" Chef's Knife, both in the same gray finish for a matching set on your countertop. If you're setting the table for dinner guests, the 8-Piece Serrated Steak Knives pick up where this one leaves off, handling heartier cuts with the same clean serration style.
Like all Misen knives, this one rewards simple care: hand wash, dry immediately, and avoid the dishwasher. With a Rockwell hardness of 58±2, it holds an edge well through regular use, and Misen's mail-in sharpening service is there whenever it needs a refresh.
