It occurred to me a while ago that although I have dozens of beautiful, fancy, expensive hunters, tacticals, folders etc., my kitchen cutlery was little better than Ginsu quality. So I began bringing my most used cutlery up to the level of my other knives.
I had little problem finding fabulous kitchen knives, carving/serving sets and especially chef's knives, but very few custom bread knives seem to be out there. That's surprising, given that this knife is so commonly use and often is a centerpiece of family meals on some holidays.
I know that George Tichbourne makes some very nice ones, and so does Ed Storch, both well known Canadian makers. Pictures or comments on those would be appreciated. Are there any others?
Also, do you really need a special design for a bread knife? And do you need serrations?
