This knife may just be the greatest thing since sliced bread, especially if you slice your own. I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Since I started using this knife, working in the kitchen has become much less painful for me. The ergonomically designed handle holds my wrist in a non-stressed position, which is important for not causing damage to my wrist, and the quick, cutting/sawing action makes the work much faster, making the use of a knife much less painful. Bread is not the only item that this knife cuts either. I have used it to cut cheeses, meats and frozen vegatables. My husband doesn't suffer from my afflictions, yet he loves using this knife too. Arthritis or not, we need to keep our joints healthy and I think that everyone would benefit from using this knife!

This knife is the perfect blend of ergonomics and functionality. For hearth baked bread with a frim crust it is the only product available to cut with any success. I only have one complaint and it is the length of the blade. For large boule type loaves if is difficult to cut all the way through. A 10 inch blade would be helpful in this case.

Cuts right through my whole grain breads no problem. You can't beat the price.

OK, a few more:

This knife is one of the easiest to use, cheapest, decent bread knives I have ever used. It is about as good as my MUCH more expensive WMF set. I am quite impressed.

Gets the job done and easy on the wallet, to boot.

Perfect for the job AND my wallet.

The angle of the handle makes cutting much easier than traditional knives. I like it so much I plan to keep it on my Christmas list to buy for friends.
