Is this knife good for cutting avocados,oranges, grapefruits, lemons & limes?

It work as well as any knife for those tasks. It's design however, makes it super for slicing foods like cheese which tend to stick to the blade while cutting. So for me, that is what I use mine for. Great on fresh mozzarella.

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

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)

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I purchased it originally to mince cilantro to make guacamole. It is so much faster than using a knife or scissors. I simply strip the leaves off fresh herbs and roll over then several times and I'm done. I'm sure you'll be happy with this purchase.

It's pretty sturdy and would cut through veggies. I save mine for sushi to keep the blade nice and sharp. The price is good enough to buy several and use them at will.

I have only used it for the regular kind; the ones that measure about 4 inches long, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on any size avocado, provided they are ripe. I have been using this tool for a little while now and am getting used to it. There is a sequence of work for prepping avocados. All the avocados you need should be processed through each of the three procedures at the same time. First slice all of them into halves, then remove the pits from all of them, then scoop out the soft interiors from all of them. The reason this is important is because the avocados make the tool very slippery (especially the last step; scooping). It's harder to slice and de-pit an avocado after the tool is all slippery from the scooping operation on a previous piece of fruit. Following this sequence makes the work go faster than having to stop and rinse the tool off frequently just so you can hang onto it.

No it's just for citrus halves: mainly for orange juice, but possibly could be used for lemon, lime, tangerine, or grapefruit.

Should work great. Although I haven't tried it on cheesecake, I do use it as a chef's knife for small stuff like grape tomatoes, garlic, apples, etc. The thin, sharp blade makes it a multi-purpose knife and I plan to order a couple more. So, not to be too 'punny,' it should be a piece of cake (cheesecake, that is) :)

I think it's mainly for cheese, fruit and vegetables. Haven't tried it on meat but would imagine it's like any other serrated blade, just hope the meat doesn't get stuck in the holes.....

I haven't tried it with lemons or limes but I slice potatoes, yellow squash and zucchini with it. I don't think lemons and limes would be a problem. This has been a handy kitchen tool for me.

I have not sliced citrus fruits with my mandolin. Slicing some heavy rind fruits should work, though it may dull the blade if used for this frequently.

Yes. Very well. In fact, grind lemons, skin and all. It helps to cut lemons, but tomatoes can be ground whole. Slice cukes, apples. Cut carrots. Add water. Shake it up. It's a great machine. Enjoy!

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

Although I only use mine for Avacado's, I don't see why it wouldn't work for just about any fruit that fits in the basket (including Lemons). So yes, I would buy this to pick lemons, oranges, apples, avacados etc.

I used it to chop down an apple tree, so a coconut (or durian) should be no problem. Just beware the sharpness, and be sure to stabilize the coconut so that it doesn't roll.

No! This is a very jagged toothed knife. Originally for dry wall cutting I believe and I use for garden roots when digging for planting.
