Saken Serrated Bread Knife 10 Inch - High-Carbon German Steel Serrated Knife with Ergonomic Black Pakkawood Handle and Full-Tang Design - Long Bread Knife Slicer Great for sourdough

the wife has gotten hooked on baking bread--mostly sour dough. We didn't have a good knife for slicing bread so I ordered 2 of this knife--one for each home. They are nice looking, have good balance in your hand, and are sharp as heck so they slice bread very nicely. Descent price too.

We bake our own bread. We generally slice the loaves and store them in the freezer ready for use. We had an old bread knife which was practically blunt, and made a mess of the slicing. At the same time that we bought a cutting guide, we also bought this knife. Talk about night-and-day. This is a sturdily constructed knife which is honed to razor sharpness. It has been in use for many months, and still sliced bread like it was butter.

I normally wouldn't buy something as personal as a knife without being able to see it and feel it, but given the current circumstances, purchased this 10" bread knife. The packaging is wonderful, almost Apple-like in a box where the flap to open it is magnetic; it's nice enough to keep the knife in it rather than going on my magnetic wall strip. The first impression after opening is that I hadn't truly thought out how long a 10" blade is, it's as long as from my elbow to my fingertips almost once you factor in the handle. I probably could have done with an 8" version. The grip is well made and finished really well so it's as beautiful as one would hope. It has a nice balancing point at the top of the handle and I have no complaints.

I started baking artisan bread and the loaves are 9" in diameter. I bought this Saken bread knife and was shocked at how it just is a delight to use! It glides through the 9" hot bread loaf with one pull. It feels very nice in your hand and is such a quality piece of craftsmanship. It is a bit heavier than some, but the handle is so good you don't mind the weight. Highly recommended.

Nice knife, feels good in the hand but has a difficult time cutting through crusty bread. I waited around too long and missed the return window. I can't honestly recommend this bread knife. It's not sharp at all. But it's nicely made so I'll give it a 3 overall score.

I got this knife for my wife to cut sourdough. The sharp teeth, long and curved blade, and heavy construction make cutting through a hard crust very easy. It probably takes a fifth of the time as with my old Walmart bread knife to cut a slice of sour dough bread, and the slice comes out a lot cleaner, plus the loaf doesn’t get bruised. I’m very happy with this purchase, and the high carbon steel will supposedly make the edge last longer.

Very nice knife. This is a heavy knife and good balance. Cut through the hard crust of my artisan bread with ease. I own several bread knives and this one is probably to best one. Nice box to store it in. If you can't afford the expensive Japanese knives this is a good one to have. A good value. Would give this as a gift.

Before choosing this particular knife, I did much internet research on expert opinions of knives. Unfortunately, I could not find any mention of this knife maker.Not being aware of this manufacturer, I was hesitant to buy it, but I decided to trust the description and the product definitely measured up to my hopes and expectations.The packaging of this product is better than expected. Holding the box created a first impression of a company that cares, believes and invests in its product.The knife itself is sturdy, well built and sharp right out of the box. There is a good weight and well balanced feel to the handle and steel combination.I have used it a few times and it seems to keep its edge and does not need constant sharpening which is good because it's serrated blade would make sharpening difficult.This is one of the most satisfying blind purchases I have ever made.
