Cuisine::pro® Damashiro® 8" Bread Knife

A bread knife with a stainless steel handle is best for slicing breads with tough crusts and soft centers, like sourdough and brioche. The serrated edge helps you cut cleanly with a steady back-and-forth motion instead of pressing down.

A serrated edge is designed to grip and move through crusty or delicate surfaces more easily than a straight edge. It helps reduce tearing on soft breads and can slice through crust without crushing the loaf.

Yes, the knife works well for bagels, baguettes and layered cakes when you want clean slices. It can also handle ripe tomatoes, where a serrated edge can help start the cut smoothly.

Use a gentle sawing motion and let the serrations do the work. Keep your strokes even and controlled, especially on soft breads and cakes, to maintain neat edges and consistent thickness.

For the most accurate guidance, follow the care instructions included with the bread knife with a stainless steel handle. In general, washing soon after use and drying thoroughly before storing helps keep it ready for everyday slicing.
