Great for quiche and pies, scones, etc.  The cutting edge works great for me and the server blade is a nice size for handling reasonable portions of pies etc. The thick handle makes holding and turning easy.  I can actually get the first piece out without destroying it.  This is the second one I bought-- I lost my first and didn't find anything I likes as well.  We don't use a dishwasher, so I can't speak to how well it washes that way.
