Amazon.com Review
Measuring 8-1/4 inches, the long narrow blade of Komachi’s bread knife features a sharp, serrated edge ideal for cutting through everything from rustic artisan bread to moist banana bread. The knife is equally appropriate for dessert items, comfortably divvying birthday sheet cakes or thin slices of pear tart. The knife hides whimsical, bread-shaped cutouts beneath its handle.

This unique collection--by renowned blade manufacturer KAI in Seki City, Japan--offers practical kitchen cutlery in cheerful colors. Durable, high-carbon, stainless-steel blades featuring a fluorinated-resin coating offer hygienic food handling. The lightweight knife does not have a bolster but feels balanced thanks to the full tang. Clear, Ionomer-resin handles in coordinating hues are ergonomically designed and fit comfortably in hand. Made in Japan and measuring 13 by 1-1/2 by 3/4 inches overall, this bread knife is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. -- Amy Arnold

Customer Reviews

Excellent Purchase!!
I don't own a single knife under $60 (until now) and many over $100 - I had a "well, it's chaep, how bad can it be" attitude... but didn't want to spend over $100 for a bread knife that I would use only occassionally. So, I tried this guy, and I LOVE IT! The quality of this knife is excellent - It is a perfect bread knife. If they end up making one with a longer blade, I would buy that one too.

At Last a Bread Knife That Works
I have made bread for years, long before the bread machines. I've used all kinds of knives-even electric. This is the first knife that really does a perfect job on fresh homemade bread. The only knife I have ever owned that slices bread clean.

Love this knife
Cuts bread, bagels, and buns with little effort, and a smooooooth cut. Very happy.
