This knife is an absolute beast on sourdough. The serrations bite cleanly through even the thickest, crackliest crust without crushing the loaf, and the blade glides straight through the open, airy crumb inside. No sawing, no tearing, no squashed slices—just smooth, confident cuts every time.
What really stands out is how little pressure it needs. You let the knife do the work, and it delivers perfectly even slices whether the bread is fresh-baked or a day old. The balance feels solid and controlled, which makes a big difference when you’re cutting artisan loaves with serious crust.
If you bake or buy sourdough regularly, this knife isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s essential. Once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever tolerated dull bread knives before.

After owning several high end bread knives, I've found one that works beautifully - The Shun 9-inch bread knife.
Many others cut bread OK. BUT, they aren't designed well enough to cut thru the contents of a sandwich cleanly.
Since most of bread slicing is with sandwiches, I need something that cuts cleanly and easily through the entire sandwich. This knife cuts cleanly - not only through the top bread layer, but whatever lies in between and the slice on the bottom!
Excellent fit and finish. Balance is spot on. It is now my go-to bread knife.
