Victorinox Fibrox Pastry Knife 10.5" Serrated — 5.2933.26
Cutting a beautifully baked cake or delicate pastry with the wrong knife undoes all the work that went into making it — crushed layers, torn frosting, dragged crumbs. This 10.5" serrated pastry knife exists specifically to prevent that: a long, gently serrated blade designed to glide through cake layers, pastries, and sweet breads with clean, decisive cuts rather than the compression and tearing a plain-edged knife causes.
The extra length compared to a standard bread knife matters for pastry work specifically — a single long stroke through a large cake or gateau produces a cleaner cut than a shorter blade forced to saw back and forth across the same distance. The serration is fine enough to handle delicate sponge and cream layers without dragging fillings out of place, while still having enough bite to get through firmer elements like nut brittle or crystallised sugar work.
The Fibrox handle is textured thermoplastic elastomer, NSF-certified for commercial food-service use and secure in the hand even when sticky from icing or cream — a genuinely practical consideration for anyone who's tried to cut cake with sugar-coated hands and a slippery handle. Dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing and drying immediately after use protects the fine serrated edge this knife depends on.
Who This Knife Is For
Home bakers who make layer cakes, gateaux, and delicate pastries regularly, cafés and patisseries needing a reliable professional-grade cake knife, and anyone tired of crushed, uneven slices from a standard kitchen knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a serrated knife on cake instead of a plain-edged one?
A plain edge tends to compress soft sponge and drag fillings, especially cream or jam, before it fully cuts through. The fine serration bites and slices cleanly with far less downward pressure needed.
Is 10.5" too long for smaller cakes?
Not at all — the extra length actually makes clean single-stroke cuts easier even on smaller cakes, since you're not forced to saw back and forth across a shorter blade.
Can this double as a bread knife?
Yes, reasonably well, though our dedicated wavy-edge bread knives are optimised specifically for crusty bread. This pastry knife is the better default if cake and pastry work is your primary use.
How do I care for the serrated edge?
Hand-wash and dry promptly, and avoid attempting to sharpen it yourself at home — serrated edges require specialist tools or professional sharpening.
