Customer Reviews:
A Wonderful Knife!
I've put up with an inferior bread knife for too long! This thing is 4X as sharp and powerful! WARNING you could literally cut off a finger if not being careful. Works for way more than bread - tomatoes, cooked mushrooms, soft cheese, you name it.

Blade is really only 9 and 3/4 inches long
This is a very nice knife. It's well-made and comfortable to use (even though I have relatively small hands for a man).

It works extremely well with lighter breads, whiffing through them with ease. With heavier, dense breads (like, say, a honey whole-wheat loaf), it does have a tendency to veer off to the side as the blade nears the bottom of the slice (the serrations are on the right side of the knife as you hold it, blade down, pointing away from you) unless you use some extra downward force when cutting.

HOWEVER ... the actual length of the blade on this knife (the sharp side) is about 9.75 inches (that's approximately 24.75 centimeters for you metric-loving folk).

Best bread knife I ever used
Sure it's big -- huge, really -- but boy can it cut. I'm very satisfied.

What People Talk About Bread Knives »

M A asked on Jan 20, 2007:

How do you sharpened bread knives?

evil_kandykid answered:
I'm assuming by bread knife you mean serrated knife. If thats the case, it depends on the knife, and who its made by. If its a good quality knife bought from a reputable cutlery company, many offer free, or low cost sharpening. Try contacting the manufactuer. If they don't offer this, they may at least give you tips or ideas on how to sharpen it.

You could also try looking for a place locally that offers knife sharpening. Many good kitchen supply stores offer this, even some hardware, and sporting goods stores. Call around.

Certain serrated knives though cannot be sharpened, and if its a cheapie knife, I would just suggest throwing it away, and getting a new one.
Ozmaniac asked on May 31, 2008:

Is it possible to sharpen a serrated edge bread knife?

Fizzle answered:
Yep. You can get a round ceramic or diamond rod that you use in the notches, and then flatten the back with a fine stone. I like using an Arkansas stone to finish up the flat or even an edge. A bit slow, but it's really fine.

    You can have it done professionally by a sharpening service.

koko asked on Jun 30, 2010:

Why do some bread knives have a Fork-like tip?

Jonah answered:
It is to be used as a fork.

Actually the knife you are referring to is a cold meat knife - used to slice cold meats very thin and then you use the tip to spear the meat and put it on a plate.

But because it is long and has a serrated edge - most people will use them as bread knives as well.
