Perfect Bread Knife (maybe brisket too?), December 6, 2024

Posted By: Nathan H

This knife is nothing fancy but an absolutely unmatched value! I'm sad for myself that I went so long without ordering it because it literally glides through all breads like it's nothing and doesn't squish softer bread rolls. My wife was extremely skeptical but after one use, she took the other 3 serrated and bread knives and donated them. Honestly, if you slice bread more than once a month, you're missing out on an incredible performer and such a great experience. Just buy one, you'll not regret it.

I thought I had a decent bread knife. This knife slices through soft dinner rolls without compressing them at all. Do not hesitate to add one of these to your kitchen.

Great blade geometry, size, and thickness. Cuts effortlessly through any bread: soft, crusty, and even stale. 10x improvement over my previous, very capable offset Dexter knife.

I honestly didn't think bread knives actually worked... well it was just the terrible knives I was using from boxed sets. This knife is super sharp and can cut through bread in a smooth one stroke action... Like Buttah

I have been making sourdough bread for many years.
I had been using a bread knife with a long straight edge and never really worked well.
Not sure where I even got it.
Since I make bread about twice a week I decided to reward myself with this knife.
This knife is excellent, it glides through the the loaf and leaves a smooth surface on the bread.
Yesterday I cut some slices from a loaf while it was still warm 30 minutes out of the oven.
It made perfect cuts and did not damage the loaf at all which is what would normally happen with my old knife. This knife also looks great and is obviously of high quality.

Solidly built, cruises through my loaves with ease. I'm mostly making crusty sourdough and have found it easy to get an initial bite with the scallops rather than the knife skipping around the surface. From there, the length and geometry make for an easy, straight slice.

I mean-who doesn't need a 10 inch bread knife that cuts through your bacon, egg and avocado bagel like it's a block of cream cheese? I'm having a good time with this one and will show it off to whomever comes over for dinner after Covid.

Love the 270mm length, love that the blade is more rigid than the cheap Tojiro model, and the aesthetics are just fine for the price. I have been able to get very thin slices of crusty sourdough bread, soft sandwich loaves, and everything else I have thrown at it.

I love this knife. I often make hearth breads, and this blade slices through them with almost no pressure. The shape of the blade and handle provides ample clearance for your hand. The fit on the handle left a bit to be desired, but a few minutes on the buffer corrected that. I've bought several for friends and family. It can be used for a lot of other tasks besides cutting bread, so it's not just single purpose. I don't think you can go wrong buying this knife. Jim

Excellent choice.

Posted By: Doug
2 people found this review helpful

The ITK bread knife is an excellent choice. The serration of this blade is ideal being the wavy type as opposed to the toothy type. For home cooks this would be an excellent tomato knife as well. I use mine only for baguettes, and melons, but because of the length it is far more versatile than shorter blades.

The price is great, even compared to Victorinox fibrox, or Dexter Russel shop knives. I'ts a lightweight addition to my knife roll, and a great no frills tool that makes quick work of crusty bread.

Fantastic knife, and a bargain. Better than any euro blade I've used. This is a thin, light blade and gets use on not only breads but crusty foods that need the serrated edge, like fried foods. Truly a joy to use

If you buy ONE knife from here, buy THIS one. This is a fantastic knife. I've gifted several including to a couple professional Chef's who rave about it. This knife is a laser through not just breads but also harder to reduce veggies like butternut squash. The slightly more expensive MAC version of this SAME knife is also excellent but this knife in this pattern is an absolute revelation of quality, function and price. Perhaps the single best, priceworthy and most useful knife I've ever purchased and I have several dozen. If you don't have this or the MAC version BUY IT!!!

I like the knife. I generally like a heftier knife, but am getting used to this one and appreciate its quality. It reminds me of a Japanese saw in terms of it being light but very effective. It's long. But it cuts through bread (and pineapples) with incredible ease.

This is a fantastic knife! It slices through crusty bread and soft bread equally well. Three is minimal effort required to cut through the bread, only light pressure and a bit of sawing. It does not rip or tear the bread at all. I wish I had found this knife years ago.

It is highly recommended with no reservations.

I look a lot of no-kneed 24-hour bread. I've always struggled to get a nice cut through the thick crusts of these loaves, and would often score them with a toothy bread knife and then finish the cuts with a durably gyuto. The Tojiro does all parts of this equation well, and it produces thinner slices more consistently than I've ever gotten before. Don't expect the most refined handle or feel, but do expect consistent, predictable performance and an excellent profile for easy "sawing" using only a long, single forward-and-back stroke..

I first saw this knife at a friend's house and after trying it out on a few slices of baguette, I was sold. I had to get one too. It's so effective at slicing through the hard bread exterior, but doesn't tear the soft interior. Perfection!

I bought this knife and I have never invested in a good bread knife before and you know what, I love it!!! It slices through bread and fruit with east. I was cutting up tomatoes and lettuce for hamburgers and it sliced the tomatoes thinly and evenly. Great investment and I would recommend it to any chef or home cook.

I ordered this bread knife simply because of a magazine review. I had never bought a good knife before and what an awakening! All you do is touch the bread and it slices through. It will slice delicate pastries without shredding them. My only complaint is that it is big! Oh, and I must mention I almost sliced my finger off the second time I used it. Other than that, I would recommend it.

I've purchased a bunch of these over the years for rehandles, and remember their forum inception years back. The length and slight bow are perfect. The scallop edge means you can run it lightly on a ceramic rod. I have seen a few different logo etches over the years, and this latest may be my least favorite. I miss the old "Tojiro" or the larger kanji. Handle is no frills, but makes a perfect candidate for a low cost custom.

Posted By: Dan - verified customer

Having used one bread knife, it takes some time to get used to this. You need to let the knife do the work with long pulls. The grip, though, seems to make it difficult to cut vertically; my slices tend to slant to the left. Still trying to figure how to counteract that.
