How does this knife do cutting tomatoes?

As long as you keep it sharp (which you should) this knife will laugh at tomatoes and ask for a challenge.

For a chef's knife, very well. A utility knife or a serrated slicer would be much more preferable.I love my Victorinox! I'm sure that you will too.

Only small, firm tomatoes. Even though the blade is ultra sharp, you still have to exert pressure on the vegetable you are slicing. So this slicer would not work with a very ripe tomato.

There are specially made tomato slicers available--some expensive, some cheap. Most of them are OK, though.The pro-type mandolines were not intended to slice tomatos.

yes it works great any time your using a knife , works well for cutting it up too.

It will chop them in the chopper attachment, but definitely more on the wet side. I use if for chopping onions all the time though. Not so good for tomatoes, if I may say.

A regular tomato.......1/4 inch? We've never had a problem with this and we've beeen slicing tomatoes for a long time. How cool is this that you're asking? Good luck; I think you should buy it and you'll like it!

I bought mine as a gift from my mom. Because she kept threatening to steal the one that I already had that was just a little bit larger than this one. I've had the original one for probably almost 30 years and it still can slice of tomato. The one I have is slightly larger than the one I ordered but my mom loves it we both use ours very often. Have never sharpened the blade

It only comes with a chopping blade. It work great on anything you need to chop, even tomatoes.

It wouldn't surprise me if it could do it, but I want my peeler to last more than few months, and I'd be worried about cutting myself by using a peeler to do that. I just use a chefs knife to do squashes.

It replaces the chopping blade. Tried it once to make a salad dressing but it didn't work very well.

I had a knife go from too dull to slice tomatoes to sharp enough to open the back of my hand with just the weight of the knife (I applied no pressure with my hand). So, pretty damn sharp.

Can not answer that. Only done onions and tomatoes and it works excellent with those 2 products. I do imagine it will chop those as well. Sorry

NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

Though I haven't attempted tomatoes, I think first of all it would have to be a smallish tomato, and secondly, that the slices would be too thin. Don't think the cutting wires would be strong enough to get through the skin of the tomato. It would require force and that would end up squishing the flesh. Maybe it would do well with the perfect size and texture tomato. I don't think it is what you are looking for.

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes.my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

My knives are like razors! ...and the middle section, that puts a small serration on the blade, makes the knife grab onto tomatoes and other soft fruit & vegetables without slipping off to the side.

OK, I don't have a millimeter measurement to give but the blade is a very heavy razor blade that's sharpened with a bevel on the bottom side and flat on top. Depending what you are cutting some stuff will slice thinner than others. Something hard like a carrot or potato can be extremely thin, but tomatoes will mush up if they are ripe and you try to make the same thin slice. You can adjust it so thin that it stops cutting.I mean harder stuff can be paper thin. I hope that's clear.
