Amazon.com Review

Slicing a pizza into wedges with a big rocker knife ensures that cuts will be straight and complete, and even the thickest, crustiest crust will yield quickly. This thick-bladed knife, 14 inches long and 3-1/4 inches deep, is beveled on both sides to a fine edge. Texture on the polypropylene handles gives a good grip. The knife is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Works better than rollers at a good price, May 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: LamsonSharp Stainless Steel Pizza Rocker Knife (Kitchen)

Cutting pizza works best when you can quickly apply a lot of overhead leverage to cut through the crust so that cheese and topping don't have much chance to stick to the knife before lifting it to make the next cut.

The problem with a rolling cutter is that it's difficult to quickly and evenly apply much pressure with one hand as it rolls over the uneven, steaming hot sticky cheese and toppings. After the first rotation of the disk, you'll often end up with more cheese stuck on the cutter than left on the pizza, making it even more difficult to cut all the way through the crust.

There are a few minor problems with this rocker knife, though. It's too small to cut the entire diameter of a larger pizza in a single cut, so it's a bit more work than it could be for 12 inch and larger pies. The handles don't lend themselves to applying as much force as I'd like because the blade could flip on its side while cutting without reserving some effort to prevent it from doing so. The knife can't hang from an overhead rack unless I drill a hole in it myself. But these minor gripes wouldn't force me to go back to using a rolling cutter. I've used commercial pizza cutters that work better, but this represents a great value for home use compared to the typical rollers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuts a pizza just like the pros!, October 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: LamsonSharp Stainless Steel Pizza Rocker Knife (Kitchen)

Finally the ability to cut pizza at home without all the cheese and toppings being dragged from one side to the other! This tool is a MUST for anyone who enjoys making pizza. You can even cut homemade pizza's in Chicago-style thin crust squares (gotta have those little "corner" pieces!)

It's also great for cutting quesadillas, sandwiches, calzones, absolutely anything that a regular knife or roller-cutter rips!

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally! No messes!, January 13, 2009

Mr. Real (NH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LamsonSharp Stainless Steel Pizza Rocker Knife (Kitchen)

I worked at a Pizza Hut in college, and we used this type of pizza cutter. It was so much easier to use than the traditional rolling cutters. Cuts fast and mess free. I've always wondered why these were not found in stores. Anyway, I finally have this one, and it works GREAT. Nice clean cuts, and as someone has said, no pulling the toppings off while ROLLING a wheel cutter. I give it only four stars for one reason, although it will cut a frozen or bobali size pizza just fine (14"), I wish it was bigger for my larger homemade pies. It still works great for them (with 2 cuts), but I got spoiled working in that pizza joint cutting every size pizza with one cut. But I'm definately happy enough with this to buy again as gifts.
