Classic Ikon 8" Bread Knife

Slicing through a hard butternut squash with this knife felt surprisingly effortless, the serrated edge gripping and cutting cleanly instead of slipping. I've used it for crusty bread and roasts since, and it hasn't dulled at all.

Cutting through a crusty sourdough felt like slicing butter with this knife—the serrated edge grabs and glides without crushing the loaf. I’ve used it on hard squash too, and it powers through the skin cleanly. Really solid purchase for the price.

I was skeptical about spending this much on a bread knife, but the weight and balance in my hand won me over immediately. It glides through crusty sourdough without squashing the loaf, and I've started using it on tomatoes and roasts too.
