From the Manufacturer
Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, renowned cutlery manufacturer Kai, and Amazon.com introduce a line of superior cutlery that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This eight-inch bread knife is ideal for cutting long and round loaves, and soft-skinned foods such as tomatoes and plums. The long blade’s pronounced serration cuts through tough crusts without undue pressure. Tom Douglas by Pinzon cutlery is made of high-carbon stainless-steel for excellent edge retention, and each blade is honed to a shaving-sharp edge. Co-polymer handles, with bolsters, provide a comfortable grip and reduce hand fatigue. Combine this versatile bread knife with other knives in the Tom Douglas by Pinzon line, including the chef’s knife, paring knife, santoku knife, and boning knife, all manufactured by Kai. These knives are safe for the dishwasher.

Kai kitchen knives have a 700-year history, with a lineage dating back to Japan’s famous samurai sword-making city of Seki. One principle, nokaji (blacksmith's) spirit, has been consistently upheld by Kai. "The nokaji strives to make blades that are suited to the daily lives of people by bringing to bear on the task all his craftsmanship and all his heart."

Tom's Tips Slice bread or anything with a slippery skin, such as tomatoes, peaches, and plums. The texture of this knife’s handle provides great control. Never scrape a knife across the cutting board. Scraping dulls your knife quickly. Gather your prep with a board scraper.
