A long, serrated bread knife

A bread knife features a long, straight blade with a sharp, serrated edge. The teeth act like a saw, allowing the blade to bite into hard crusts and slice through soft interiors without applying downward pressure.

Characteristics

  • Blade Length: Usually 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm) to span wide loaves.
  • Profile: Straight edge with deep or shallow serrations.

Primary Uses

  • Sawing through crusty artisan bread, baguettes, and soft sandwich loaves.
  • Slicing delicate cakes and pastries.
