Description

When it’s a bit tough on the outside but soft on the inside (sounds like most chefs we know!), the H&B Bread Knife is the tool for the job. The serrated edge gives you the bite you need to get that perfect slice, and the slight angle of the cutting edge makes for more comfortable and versatile handling, so you can take on whatever is in front of you. Pick it up, and cruise through that bread crust, ease through that eggplant, and whip through that watermelon. You got this!

Bread Knife

A bread knife is a long, serrated knife specifically designed for cutting through bread. The blade typically ranges from 8 to 12 inches in length and features large, evenly spaced serrations, which help grip and slice through crusty loaves without crushing or tearing the soft interior. Its design makes it ideal for slicing not just bread but also foods with a similar texture, like cakes or large fruits and veggies. The handle is usually ergonomic for a firm grip, ensuring control and ease of use.

Japanese vs Western Style Knives

Japanese-style knives typically have thinner and sharper blades with a more acute cutting angle, ideal for precise slicing and delicate tasks. Western-style knives have thicker and sturdier blades. Historically Japanese knives were single beveled (one sided) and were meant to be held in the Right hand only. This style is still preferred today by professional Japanese chefs and if you’re interested in proper sushi technique these are a great choice.

Knife Care

Wash with soap and water and wipe dry after each use. Do NOT put in the dishwasher (dishwashers are harsh on tools and dull blades). Always cut on appropriate cutting surfaces (like wood, plastic, or rubber). Do not cut on hard surfaces that can dull the blade. Store your knife safely, and protect the blade from contact with hard surfaces.
