This is an amazing Japanese bread knife. slightly flexible but with a core of vg 10 steel it should hold its edge remarkably well. Deft in the hand and extremely sharp. Don't produce as much crumb as a couple of other expensive bread knives I have had in the past.

I like this knife so much I just bought another Tojiro.  It's a little long for what I use it for, but the steel quality is excellent.  It goes though the crustiest, toughest bread like a chainsaw.  It's a pleasure to use.  I like products that exude quality and this one does that.

My second Komachi knife.  I have made yeast bread for years and purchased their bread knife several years back and it's been the best bread knife for slicing homemade bread.  When I saw this sandwich knife on Amazon I jumped on it.  It is, as I expected, another great Komachi knife that I use on a regular basis.

This knife is awesome. It has 2 blades, one for bread and the other for meat. Cuts through everything like it was butter.

Never had an actual bread knife before ... now I don't know how I went all that time without one.  This is a great knife that cuts through the crust with ease, while at the same time doesn't smoosh down the soft inside of the loaf.  And it cuts so easily without hardly any pressure from me ... it seems like all I have to do is guide it!  Love it and would highly recommend this bread knife from Henckels!

This is a great and super sharp bread knife. Sliced through fresh ciabatta rolls with no crushing.  I have several other high-end knives (Wustoff, Henkel's) that did not start off this sharp and cost twice as much.  I may order another just to make sure I have a spare when this one gets dull.

I had my doubts about needing a "special" knife to cut bread. I mean, what could be so different about a knife? It's sharp and it cuts .... Isn't that every knife? But I was so sick and tired of ruining my fresh baked bread by squishing it every time I tried to cut into it. So I read the reviews on this set, bit the bullet and bought it. I am so glad I did. This knife cuts through bread so easily, straight, makes perfectly thin slices and never squishes my bread, even when I cut it while it's still hot. Amazing! I love it! I should have bought this years ago.

Also, I really like how the knife nests neatly into the cutting board. Very convenient. The cutting board is not overly large, but it's plenty big enough to place loaves of bread, and it stores neatly next to my breadmaker. Perfect. Very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend it. The quality is great, and it looks beautiful on my countertop. Thanks!

It's obviously not sharp, but it looks to be. It's a very accurate replica of Wado Ichimonji, and appears to have a deathly sharp blade (though, in reality, this thing wouldn't be able to cut bread, and for good reason, you wouldn't want to coming out of it's sheath in you're pocket.) I only give it 4 stars because the cross guard did come off after a few days, though that's nothing a little super glue didn't fix.

I am very happy with this knife.  I like to make paninis and this knife does a great job slicing the bread and then the piping hot sandwich.  It is well built and durable.  The offset handle makes it much easier to slice.  It cleans up well in the dishwasher.  I have several Mundial knives of the 5600 series and I am happy with every one.

If you select your cutlery by how pretty or expensive it is, you may not want this knife.  This Santoku knife cuts and it cuts extremely well.  The reviewer who compares it to lasers is absolutely right;  it's horrificly sharp.  If you're not careful, the money you save buying this knife will be lost on Urgent Care charges to close that bleeding finger.  I do  put an occasional edge on it - about every three or four uses - but it's more of an  obligatory action than necessary one.  The blade feels thin and the plastic handle looks kind of cheap but  the secret polymers used in creating this handle make it incredibly slip resistant while the blade maintains a fine edge and saws through fresh meat like a Jonserreds chain saw on a New England Maple. A friend who does a lot of cooking loved using it when she came over to cook for me and she was so thrilled to get one for her going away gift that she mentions it frequently without any prodding.

I'm not trying to impress anyone, my linoleum floors are tough and hardy but not nearly as fancy as the ceramic tile I first priced.  I have a basic Ninja blender instead of a Bullet and I think I'm spoiling myself when my Viva paper towels arrive.  This knife is functional, easy to hold - even for small hands - and cuts like a, well, knife.

When I first bought this my boyfriend and I made our money back within two months.  It is incredibly easy to work, makes great bread, and is ideal for people curious about getting a bread machine.  We stopped buying bread completely and were stocked on sandwiches of all different varieties.
The only reason this is not getting five stars is because you see, my fellow homemade bread makers, I tried a recipe and I have honestly no idea what went wrong. It was hard and wet in weird patterns and I decided yeah, that can't be eaten. Apparently this demon loaf ate the blade for the bread machine and in my haste to get its evil not deliciousness out of my home, I threw out the blade.
This should not be such an issue, but it is. I've searched far and wide on the Internet and Amazon and cannot find the damn blade for this wonderful budget friendly bread machine ANYWHERE. I've been buying store bought crap and my taste buds and wallet are very mad at me.  It looks like I am going to have to continue my search only to end up spending $60+ on probably the most important teeny tiny plastic part of this thing.
I'd definitely recommend this but please for the love of bread do not lose the blade because then you'll be sad and bread less like me:(

I bought this knife about a month ago and it is easily the best knife I own. I have a few Shun's, Wusthof's and Henckel's and this knife easily takes the cake. The hammered finish helps to keep food from sticking and works even much better than my double hollow ground sumo santoku. The weight definitely helps the knife move effortlessly through any produce but is not too heavy to cause any kind of fatigue. The balance is great and is right at the bolster. Also I love this VG-10 steel. It stays sharp forever. It's just too bad Shun discontinued the edo line :(

I have not used this knife a lot yet but so far it is really nice and gorgeous to look at. It came in a nice box which was almost a shame to throw away, but I only have so much space in my drawer. The knife feels good in your hand and cuts through bagels, crusty bread and soft bread effortlessly. The hard plastic sheath protects the knife from damage while it is sliding around in a drawer. Excellent value for the money.

Best bread knife ever. But be careful. I see I'm not the only reviewer who sliced their index finger on first use. I think it's because the blade curves up, which is why this works so well - it doesn't bottom out before it gets all the way through the bottom of the loaf. And it' super sharp!

My search for a great bread knife is finally over!  For the past 15 years, I have bought and returned bread knives because they tore the bread apart rather than slicing it. I would always go back to one my brother bought me in the early nineties even though it was wearing out, BUT it was still better than the other ones I bought and returned.  This Wusthof Classic High Carbon Stainless Steel knife really does the job.  I love it!

It is the most versatile knife I have had in my entire life.  It stays sharp and will cut crusty or soft breads smoothly plus many other items such as
grapefruit or orange rind, pineapple skin, raw or cooked meat.  I gave one as a gift and she says she uses this knife exclusively.

The downsize is the price.

I used to bake a lot of bread machine loaves for my family and they tended to have a solid crust but were quite soft inside (I never claimed to be a great baker!). Other bread knives would squish the loaf as I tried to cut the slices, or they would tear the slices to different degrees. This knife has been a delight! Great slices every time. I've also used it to level cakes and it was so easy. I can't recommend it enough. Great purchase!
