Abstract: A multi-purpose knife has an arcuate shaped blade and a denticulate cutting surface on a curved portion of the blade. The cutting surface includes a continuous cutting edge and a pair of beveled surfaces associated with each denticle which intersect at the end of the denticle to form a second cutting edge adjacent to the continuous cutting edge. The continuous cutting edge and the cutting edge formed by the beveled surfaces all slant so as to point the denticles in a direction toward the handle.
