What are Bread Knives?

Bread knives are an essential accessory for any home or professional kitchen, enabling the perfectly sliced loaf of bread, bagel, muffin or other baked goods.

With its long, serrated edge, the bread knife is ideal for ensuring straight slices of bread, whether home-made or shop-bought. It is also unlikely to dull as quickly as other knives in your set.

How Long are Bread Knife Blades?

Blades are typically between six and 10 inches in length and, as a rule, the longer the blade the better, especially when slicing large loaves.

The design of the blade means minimal force is required when cutting and slicing, so there will be no flattening, crushing or other damage done to the loaf of bread or other foodstuff, ensuring the presentation of your dish will be spot-on.
