A bread knife typically has a long blade, usually eight to ten inches, with a rounded tip. Another feature of the bread knife, a serrated knife blade, helps cut the bread without crushing it. Instead of using a chopping or slicing motion, as you would with most blades, the serrated blade allows you to use a sawing motion while cutting the bread, putting less pressure on the bread itself, which in turn helps the bread retain its form.
One popular bread knife is the Chicago Cutlery Bread Knife, a very durable, moderately priced knife. Many Chicago Cutlery products come with good warranties and have a high rate of customer satisfaction.
Another popular brand is the Fiddle Bow Bread Knife from Mountain Woods. The unique design of this knife helps slice the bread so it is consistently the same size. There are two main styles to choose from, the Original Fiddle Bow Bread Knife and the Adjustable Fiddle Bow Bread Knife, which has an adjustable guide for different sized slices.
Although serrated knives maintain a sharp edge longer than plain blade, you should take good care of your bread knife, as with any kitchen knife. This will ensure a long life for the knife.
