Give me your crustiest bread, please.

A good bread knife is worth it's weight. I didn't realize this until I owned one. Good serrations, high quality steel so the serrations stay sharp. A sturdy handle to grip and length. Oh, give me length. I grew up where great artisan bread was a right, not a luxury (although sometimes the prices are luxurious). It used to bother me that I would get a beautiful boule home and when I sliced it, it became a squashed pillow. Then I was given a great bread knife. At the time it was 8 perfectly serrated inches of high quality stainless steel; since then I have graduated to a 9-inch blade, as loaves and boules, and my cooking skills have expanded.
Now nothing less than 9 inches. Nothing less than a top quality knife. It's a knife you don't replace. You use it forever. My 8-inch is still in use at my mom's.
This Miyabi Evolution qualifies as a top quality knife. It is a hybrid between Asian and Western knives. A weighty (by Japanese standards) sculpted handle that isn't bulky. A blade made by craftsmen and finished to a sharpness that is attainable only because of the quality of the steel. You will enjoy this knife for a long, long time.
Aside from being part of the Zwilling Pro series which in itself means it has the most comfortable handle/bolster and the perfect weight this serrated blade is absolutely incredible. The teeth are uniquely shaped to first puncture tough crusts but go easy on the soft insides. The blade is thin but firm so you feel in control while using this knife.
My currenty obsession is baking bread so a good knife is a requirement. This pro knife feels so perfectly comfortable in my hand and slices through any bread almost like butter; no tearing, no smooshing. It cuts so nicely, I've been know to use it to slice a roast too!
I bake a lot of cakes and have been looking for a serrated knife that won't create crumb and cut through the layers thinly and straight. This knife has turned out to be perfect for my baking needs. I also like how it can cut through a heavy crust on an artisan loaf without any effort!
This is the ultimate bread knife! I love it and use it daily. I buy loaves of artisan breads from a local baker and the crust is crunchy and hard, like it should be. This knife glides right though without tearing the bread. I can't recommend this enough
Easy to use and love bread knife with serration that makes it glide through even hard-crust breads! Once I tried this one, I knew it was the one to have in my kitchen and keep in my block. I use ti mostly for breads and rolls, but works well for other fruits and veggies, too!
