Mercer Culinary Millennia Colors Bread Knife, 10-Inch Wavy Edge Wide, Blue

Great for slicing all sorts of foods from crusty boules to tomatoes. The knife is nicely balanced. The handle is a little thicker than I thought it would be, but it helps with grip and is very comfortable. Works better than my much more expensive knife. The knife is dishwasher safe, but I’ve only put it through one lazy time. It’s easy to safely hand clean and I want to preserve the blade because it’s so nice to use.

Best bread knife EVER!!!! Cuts through breads of all types, including homemade dense nut-filled bread AND breads that have hardened after a few days. Amazing, truly.

An essential. I have had more expensive knives that weren't close to the quality as this one.

Had a twenty year old bread knife that started cutting less effectively (shocking, right?). Replaced it with this one, and all I can really say is, wow. This thing is so sharp that it constantly provides quick, and clean slicing. I didn't realize just how badly the older knife was until I used this. It can handle larger, crusty bread just as easily as softer things like rolls and bagels. If you like making your own bread, this knife is a must. If you like clean, even slices, this knife is a must. If you are tired of bagel guillotines or other kitchen gadgets, and just want a nice, sliced bagel for toasting, this knife is a must. The handle is great, with enough texture and grip that slippage is not a concern. Its length means it can easily go through artisan breads, particularly boules. No regrets whatsoever...except, wow, it is sharp. I used to be able to cut through a bagel in my hand without any concerns (maybe not the safest way to cut a bagel), but this knife, not so much. Lets just say it cuts through human skin with the same ease that it cuts through bread, but that is on the cook, not the cook's tool :)

I love the length of this knife, and the sharpness. My other bread knife, an offbrand was like a chainsaw going through bread. This knife slices very nicely, but does have an inward angle as you slice through anything. So, you’ve got to train your hand to tilt outward a little bit, as you’re slicing, in order to get a straight slice.

Love this knife. Got it because new bakery went into neighborhood and they make very crusty bread. None of our knives worked well at all. This knife filled the bill. Did read other reviews and have been very careful not to get cut.

Super sharp yet feels safe. Use it all the time. Great for cutting big fruit - even watermelon and tough squash.

Really good bread knife
