Bread Knife

I am in the market to buy a serrated knife for cutting bread (and other things- tomatoes, etc.) It will not get a huge about of use- maybe a small slicing job or 2 a day. Just a few questions: 1...

The 8" Henckels was just replaced by a 10" slightly curved Dexter, 24.95 at Ace. What an amazing difference!

I coughed up $10 and bought one of those razor knives (lame) for scoring bread before baking. No matter what I do -- coated with water or flour -- is snags badly when i try to score the loaf, t...

Hello - I want to buy a great bread knife. Who makes the best? Matt

The way I want it. Pretty simple requirements: traditional style (not offset blade), wooden handle, full tang, pointed tip i.e. it slopes down from the spine to the tip, but the tip isn't roun...

I make a lot of rustic bread with serious crusts and softer but high-gluten interiors. My own bread knife is a saw-tooth cheapo that I've had for longer than I can recall--I think I inherited it f...

please weigh in on bread knives: i am in the market for a new bread knife. Our old one was unbranded, and lasted about 30 years, so I can't complain. Now I am wondering if I should opt for a nic...

I find myself in a weird predicament today. I am trying to decide on buying a bread knife and am stuck btw a 10'' Victorinox Fibrox Wavy and a 8'' Wusthof Classic Bread Knife. Normally I would go w...

do I need to go to the USA?

I take it that bread knives come in saw-tooth style and wavy-edge. I have a cheap old bread knife with saw-tooth serrations which actually works great, but I've lately been making bread with K...

I've been told that serrated bread knives just die after some time and that it's not worth speeding Wustoff money on one and expecting to find a capable sharpener. T or F?

We have two standard bread knives, both with regular handles. My husband makes wonderful loaves of Italian bread with crunchy crusts that are harder to cut at the bottom so that's why I'm looking ...

Just figured I'd throw this out there - $65.15 shipped for a Shun Steel bread knife. Looks to be the same as the Classic line, but with the stainless handle. VG-10, damascus, etc. http://www.a...

I've had a cheapo Ikea bread knife for years and am ready to upgrade. I love a good knife (just bought a Masamoto VG gyuto), but I'm wondering if it's really worth shelling out the money to get a ...

I think people who love knives or enjoy physic/math/engineering (especially electric engineering) will get a kick out of this design: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/shun-classic-dual-dens...

I'm in NYC and took my serrated bread knife to Broadway Panhandler for a sharpening (I've had the thing for 8 years and never sharpened it!). Anyway, turns out they don't sharpen serrated knives. A...

I need to upgrade bread knives since all I have is a cheap Ginsu type one and it's hard to cut crusty bread. I've read that you don't need to buy a great bread knife, since it's serrated and can't...

and so am I. My husband dropped it as he was loading the dishswasher. It bounced off my toddler's melamine plate and snapped in two. I don't suppose it's guaranteed? And I know. Good knives d...
