Like a traditional bread knife, Spyderco’s Blunt-Tip Z-Cut combines cutting performance with the enhanced safety of a rounded tip. However, its Z-shaped profile provides knuckle clearance and superior leverage when used on a cutting board. Its nitrogen-enriched CTS-BD1N stainless steel blade is full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry and is available with either a plain-edged (this model) or fully serrated cutting edge. The serrated version features a uniform pattern of small serrations that increases the blade’s functional edge length by more than 24% for voracious cutting performance, especially on baked goods. The pebble-textured handles are injection molded from durable polypropylene directly onto the blade’s tang and are available in black, green, red, and yellow.
