First off... be sure your knife block can handle the 10" blade. I had to remove my sharpener (honing steel) in order to fit it in the block. No big deal, but it may be to some. Measure it out, first.

Other than that, the knife is GREAT! I like the feel of the walnut handle, which is nice in an age of plastic handles.

The teeth are spaced a LITTLE wider than my last bread knife, but I don't think it cuts differently. Either way, this knife cuts through even the toughest 3 day-old ciabatta crust with ease.

Don't overspend on your bread knife; if taken care of this will last your lifetime.

Superb Knife!!
I recently began making homemade bread and wanted to obtain a good bread knife. Being a fugal person... I balk at the prices of "designer cutlery".
This knife is every bit as well made as those selling for triple the price (and more).
* Heavy weight high carbon stainless steel blade
* Full blade tang through handle
* Triple riveted handle
* "Business End" of the knife is a full 10"... The entire knife is actually 15", including the handle.

In a Quality/Cost ratio analysis... This knife is an absolute STEAL!!!

This is truly a superb knife in quality and performance!! After reading the customer ratings, I was convinced to try one of these knives for myself. All of the 5 Star Customer Ratings are true!!! This knife excels in performance well above knives that are triple the price and goes beyond all expectations of the higher priced knives. I also found that if you aren't careful, it also cuts fingers too!! I totally agree with a previous customer's comments - "For price and quality, this knife is an absolute STEAL!!!

The knife does an excellent job of cutting through the toughest crusts. The length is especially handy.
The only negative I have is that there should be a warning included with the knife to avoid putting it in the dishwasher. I used the dishwasher and the finish came off the wood handle on the first washing

The quality of this knife is good for the amount of jack. This knife will tackle any soft breads and cakes with ease. The one problem that I have run into with this knife however, is that the widley spaced teeth can be troublesome when cutting hard crusty breads. Since the teeth are widley spaced, it is prone to skipping if you are not careful. In short, skipping knife blade = sliced fingers. This is problematic to me since most of the bread I bake is rustic/french style bread. In all fairness, this knife has multiple purposes, but if you are looking for a good knife to cut those lovely baguettes you've been laboring over so insatiably, go with something with smaller teeth.

This is the knife you need to slice your bread. I wondered why my old knife and new breadmaker didn't get along. This knife solved the problem. You get nice, clean, even slices of bread with this knife. For me, it is the nicest thing to happen to make even, sliced bread, a reality in my kitchen.

All my knives are Chicago Cutlery so I was aware of their quality before ordering this knife. I'm not disappointed--it's very sharp and comfortable to use and it works great with the Norpro bread slicer.

This is a nice, relatively inexpensive serrated knife with a blade long and sturdy enough to allow it to do more than just slice bread, which it does with ease.

Warning: The teeth on this knife are a little on the coarse side, so If you intend to slice delicate items such as pastries or smoked salmon, you may want to look for a knife who's serrations are finer.

Worked great and was just what we needed. I started making bread at home with a breadmaker and our old knife was not doing the job. This knife is fabulous! Nice and long - but be careful, it's VERY sharp.

Don't hesitate to buy this knife. It is the best bread knife for the money. I cannot justify paying a penny more for a different knife.
Perfect for cutting all types of baked breads. Stays sharp forever. I've had it for over 6 years, never sharpened, use it several times a week to slice bread, and haven't noticed any decrease in performance. The blade is very thick and very strong for a bread knife and will never bend when cutting even the toughest and hardest breads. The 10" blade is excellent for wider breads. Just simply a great bread knife. It has wooden handles so try to steer clear of the dishwasher.
