Shun's offset bread knife is pretty awesome.

Best for the money would be Victorinox

Victorinox bread knife is terrific. Steak and paring knives are also quite good for the money.

The Victorinox Fibrox Pro 10" Bread Knife is a good choice.

Wow! US$ 250 for a 12.5" bread knife! What is the name of the steel they are using? Are these hand forged knives? They appear to be production similar to Zwilling.

I've been using this for 2 or more years now and its awesome http://www.chefknivestogo.com/toitkbrkn.html. The design of the serrations allow them to be sharpened on the beveled edge of a water stone with some practice.

The new Spyderco 10" Bread Knife was released just a few weeks ago for $44.97.

It seems like most of us have found through experimentation that a serrated knife works best on bread.

The knife I have found that works the best of the knives that I have experience with is the Cutco 9" carver - It just works the best of the knives I have on soft breads as well as breads with crusty layers.

With this thread I get to see what everyone else has experience with, so I get to enjoy some time checking out knives I never knew about; just what this forum is about!

New?

Was that not released in 1996?

Spyderco released a new bread knife:

"K01SBK Bread Knife NEW!
Few kitchen cutting chores challenge a serrated edge more than cutting bread—especially soft, freshly baked bread. Spyderco’s all-new K01 Bread Knife redefines the group by combining our time-tested original design with 40 years of experience and refinement of serrated edges. Its remarkably thin MBS-26 stainless steel blade features an evolved serration pattern that cuts soft breads and cake without crushing or tearing and powers through hard-crusted food almost effortlessly. Its injection-molded polypropylene handle is molded directly onto the tang and has a stepped texture pattern for a secure, comfortable grip."
​

I think the BladeHQ image is wrong because the tip is not so rounded from the Spyderco catalog and KnifeCenter.

Hmm, thanks. You are correct this is a new release but did they not have one back in the day? I'm confused now, all the Google searches are pulling up new topics.

Spyderco for me, but this one
Just because I own no Kitchen knives from them...

I thought that was an old potato.

It might be yes, and the one I'm thinking of has different serrations. Also was made in golden not Japan like this newer one.

THE BURNS BREAD KNIFE (it says on blade)
SHAPE NO. 3 PAT. 8-23-21
THE BURNS MFG. CO,. SYRACUSE, N.Y., U.S.A.
STAINLESS STEEL

This one cuts all breads cleanly with its alternating mini shark-tooth thin blade, 8" long. I paid 25 cents at a thrift store several years ago, and I see them for $40 on EBay as "vintage". I have never used a better bread knife, and you can not convince me a better one exists. The woman used it on meat once, and it did well, but now I keep it in a locked drawer.

Thanks for the trip through nostalgia lane I think I would call that one an "old school" knife

It is. But it's a good analog of hard bread, or "tough carbs" if you will

Knarfeng is right ! As a long term bread maker - define bread ! We never had serrated knives at home , but we had or made real bread which is cut with a good sharp blade . As for focaccia mine was always gone too fast to do any proper cutting or breaking tests !!

I deal with a lot of professional Chef's and a few artisan bread makers, the #1 choice by most of them is the Tojiro ITK 270mm.
