It's great for any of those veggies/fruits plus breads and raw meats. The serrated edge is the best I've ever used.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Sorry for the delay. Yes this would be a great knife for that. The straight blad is super sharp and the serrated part is great for cutting rope. I've been very pleased with the knife and have used it for many different tasks

As I am a vegetarian I do not eat meat so I would not know if the knife would work for that purpose. I did purchase a slicing knife at Amazon that is great. It is almost as large as the cake knife and just as sturdy.I do not know how to sharpen a serrated blade.

It would definitely do well with those things, but it's like killing a Cardinal with a shotgun... You don't need something this sharp to do those tasks. Also, you risk dulling the knife cutting carrots with it. If you use it for sushi, you want it to stay sharp.

YES it is a good knife for anyone that needs it. PS: Dull knife is dangerous!

I think it will be great. I have used it for onions & pickles & it cuts quickly & as small as you want it. The blade is very sharp.

I am pretty sure plain old plastic knives (like the kind from fast food places) will cut it for you (without ruining your counter.) Those serrated ones, especially from Wendys (they have the best flatware!) are sharp enough to cut apples and meat. I do like this knife though for for thicker things like cakes where those little freebie ones are too skimpy.

No, it's just an exacto-knife that gets hot. It's good for cutting/melting through plastic with precision. Not what you want for carpet. Better off with a utility knife.

The knives I find to be decent for cutting. They are serrated on one side and flat on the other so it's not like you'll be cutting through food like a stake knife but they are very comparable with my other "el-cheapo" knives I normally use (this set is too fancy for me to use daily)

It cuts the avocado very nicely, the pit remover works great and the slicer is good too, a neat working tool for the avocado lover.

We have no problem slicing breads with this knife....we use it for many food items.

Sorry about the delayed response. Yes the Knife will cut meat. I've cut through chicken backbones for soup stock. It also works great for prepping fruits and vegetables. I make a full meal for my family every day and I am mainly using this knife for cutting everything from meats to chopping garlic and parsley. I have had it for around 6 months now and I find that it works very well. I think it is well worth the money.

That's what I use it for. Sharp side for young Thai tops, dull side for cracking them, or brown coconuts. I bought a cleaver at BB&B;, and 2 coconuts in the blade cracked - this one seems MUCH more reliable.

Absolutely. I've purchased multiple for family members for them to keep in their cars, or as a pocket knife. Quality blade that is good for emergencies, or everyday use.

No, this is the wrong kind of knife for that - it is perfect for cutting tomatoes and citrus. Serrated edges wouldn't work well with chicken breasts. You need a boning knife for that, like this one: J. A Henckels International Classic 5.5-Inch Stainless Steel Boning Knife

Ditto to Jim's answer. Be careful not to cut fingers off--this blade be sharp, yes indeed, YES indeed!
