Category: Bread Knife

A classic amongst the range of knives that belong in every kitchen: as well as bread, this knife is suitable for use on hard-skinned vegetables and fruit, as well as for roasts, especially those with crackling. The concave (inwardly curved), serrated edge of the knife works like the teeth of a saw, but is much finer, so no pressure is required to cut any sort of bread and even a hard crust will allow a clean cut. The small blunt section at the tip of the blade is designed for extra crusty loaves. As you slice down to the bottom of the loaf, simply lift the handle up and use the blunt tip to slice through the hard bottom crust.

Grace H. ★★★★★

I've been using this knife for a few weeks now, and the way it glides through a crusty sourdough without crushing the soft inside is genuinely impressive. It handled a tough-skinned butternut squash just as easily, which saved me from wrestling with my old chef's knife.

Riley A. ★★★★★

I bought this mainly for sourdough and it cuts clean slices without squashing the crumb at all. The 8 inch length is perfect for my round loaves, and it handled a roast chicken last night too. Honestly the best ten bucks I've spent on my kitchen in a while.

Violet ★★★★★

The serrated edge glides through crusty sourdough without squishing the soft middle, which my old knife never managed. I've also used it on roast chicken and it cut cleanly through the skin. Genuinely the sharpest thing in my kitchen now.
