The Shun Cutlery Classic Bread Knife with a 9 in. blade is a must-have for every kitchen. Along with the chef's knife and paring knife, many claim that they simply could not live without their bread knife. When presented with a fresh loaf of bread, it would nearly be considered a crime to use anything besides this razor-sharp, capable blade. The blade features wide, "low frequency" serrations that do a much better job slicing bread than any straight-edged knife. Saw cleanly through any loaf of bread without risking smashing the tender interior. Can even be used on pastries!
