Q: Can I use this for pie as well as cake?
Yes, the flexible front part of the blade works well for pie, while the stiffer back portion is suited to cutting and serving cake.
EV172 - Classic Cake Knife and Server
Based on the most popular cake and pie server of the 1900s, this stainless-steel model has a 6" blade that tapers from 0.015” near to the handle to 0.010” at the tip, making it perfect for both cutting and serving.
Although the flexible front part of the blade combined with a much stiffer back portion makes it equally useful for pie, it was always called a cake knife because its thin blade served this function better than any other knife on the market. It is 11" long overall and comes with a slip-on blade guard.
