The bread knife in Black can be the star of the show in your kitchen. If you love artisanal bread and have an appreciation for high quality cutlery, this bread knife is right for you. It is the right length, has a beautiful and comfortable handle and the serrated blade is durable and won't ever need sharpening.
This is a beautiful Japanese bread knife. I love how sharp this blade is, it slices through bread, fruit, pretty much anything like it’s butter, and doesn’t cause tearing or squishing as you slice. With the beautiful flower damascus design of the 133 layers of MC66 steel, you get an exceptionally sharp knife, while also having a durable blade thanks to it being ice hardened. These are some of the best Japanese knives on the market, not only for use, but aesthetically as well with the layered steel and black ashwood handles.
Miyabi Black is the best of the best. Its blade has center core of MC66 steel wrapped in 132 of additional steel. The knife is the hardest yet flexible knife I have. The beautiful handle is made from black ash and each knife handle has its own natural pattern thanks to mother nature. It will slice through even the most delicate crust without tearing - super important when we buy those expensive breads. MC66 MicroCarbide steel is hardened to 66 HRC
The serration on this knife cuts rather than tears the bread. Some bread knives tear the bread due to the serration and it creates dangley bits which are unsightly. I love the looks and the construction of this knife. These knives are handcrafted in Seki Japan with super steel and super ice-hardeneing which means they are sharp and stay sharp. I love this one and keep it out on my magnetic knife bar so that it is close at hand
