The Shun Classic Blonde Bread Knife works equally well on very soft breads and even pastries. Razor-sharp, these single-bevel serrations let you cut the perfect slice with ease. Don't ruin a fresh loaf of bread by squashing it beneath the blade of a dull knife. Instead, use the wide, low frequency serrations of the Shun Classic Blonde Bread Knife to simply glide through crusty or tender bread. The undulating serrations provide the power you need to gently saw through a crusty loaf without tearing the tender interior. After a chef's knife and a paring knife, some cooks say that the knife they most can't live without is their bread knife. If you're looking for a new bread knife, this blonde-handled version of Shun's Classic Bread Knife is a beautiful choice.
