Bread Knife

A bread knife is an ideal tool for producing perfect slices of your favorite loaf. Unlike knives used for meat, a bread knife features a long serrated blade that easily cuts through crust and loaf. Since a bread knife cuts with a sawing motion, it needs little pressure applied to bite through a crisp crust. This retains the shape of the loaf yielding perfect slices.

A bread knife has a long handle that is easy to grip and guide through long loaves of fresh bread. Its blade is typically longer than other knives as a bread knife needs length to take advantage of the serrated edge. A bread knife is light and commonly features an offset handle for easier slicing. Bread knives should never be used on anything other than bread. The blade of the bread knife is specifically designed for bread, and will not perform well with other foods.
