Global 8 in. Bread Knife, Serrated G-22

Cuts bread like butter
I received this knife as a wedding gift and use it quite frequently. My wife and I eat a lot of home-baked bread and find ourselves reaching for the Global every time. This knife makes cutting bread fun. I actually look forward to slicing bread with this knife. A maximum of 2 slices is all it takes to get through bread of any consistency. The Global is unbelievably sharp and, with the signature Global styling, is quite good-looking as well. Every kitchen needs a good bread knife and if you are looking for an knife that will turn the chore of slicing bread into a fun activity, look no further than this knife.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Profection 8-Inch Bread Knife

Profection is PERFECTION
Best knives I've ever used, and I was a professional cook/saucier for almost fifteen years. I've used almost every make - Forschner, Dick, Shun, and three different Henckels series, and the Profection knives are the best designed and very well made.Weight, balance, finish, are all exactly right for my hand; the new bolster shape makes sharpening the full length easy, and the thick back provides better stability over long use. This is the 'bread slicer,' but it's also great for cutting up fish, frozen food, and cutting through bone.

WELL DONE!

Shun Premier Bread Knife, 9-Inch

One Impressive Knife
I own Kyocera ceramic knives and other Shun knives so I'm used to quality knives in general. This knife has exceeded my expectations in every way: it's balanced, beautifully finished, it can handle any loaf size with its long and sturdy blade, it glides through soft and hard breads with ease allowing me to cut almost transparently thin slices. This is a wonderful knife worthy of the high price you pay.
oh yeah.
I purchased this after reading, looking, and thinking a lot. This is a very nice knife. Mine is much more polished than the one in the photo, so it doesn't look as rugged, especially since the hammer marks are all polished, though still present. Anyway, it's smooth to the touch everywhere but the cutting edge of the blade. And the blade is super thin at the cutting edge. Goes through bread with very little work and cuts the straightest pieces I've ever made. Used it to carve a whole chicken the other night... it would be perfect for thanksgiving! I've used cutco for a while and I believe that this will hold an edge better than cutco's french chef knife, mainly because it is thinner at the edge. Not sure about longevity, but if I take care of this I think it will last a really, really long time. Also, as for the metal work in the blade... most of the knives out there ($75 and up) will last a life time with a bit of care (shun, wustof, cutco).

Our ability to make...
Fast delivery and perfect condition!
I was so pleased with the Shun knife that I ordered. I ordered it right before the Christmas season, and it came within 5 days of my order. It was beautiful and I am so pleased. I will absolutely order again!

Shun Classic 8-Inch Offset Bread Knife

A knife that pleases all
This is an excellent knife and complements a number of other knives I have extremely well.

It cuts with a degree of precision that I have just not found with other bread knives (and I have used most of the well-known brands) which can sometimes be too flimsy and move around when cutting bread with a hard crust such as a good sour-dough loaf or they are too thick or become blunt too easily. Also being offset has distinct advantages particularly in not hitting your knuckles when slicing.

This knife is one of the workhorses in my cooking exploits and having a reliable knife that cuts consistently across many bread/cakes types is really helpful whether it is a hard crust loaf as mentioned above or it is a cake I am slicing horizontally to fill with fresh cream and fruit this knife is always a delight to use.

Even my wife who is not particularly interested in knifes and cooking loves to use this knife and have said on more than one occasion that this is the...
I love it but that comes with its faults
This is a wonderful knife and it is one of my three primary prep and line knifes, however it has its draw backs.

Pros:
-Great steel
-Great look
-Holds an edge well
Cons:
-Almost too heavy, a little cumbersome
-Feels akward
-Not well balanced
-Hard to sharpen

I would recommend this knife but i would do so with caution because it take s some time to get use to the way it handles. Although most offset knifes take some time to get use too. I dont know what i would do with out it but it is out of love that i can point out its faults.
Elegance and Efficiency
This knife is an excellent tool. It looks stunning, and does exactly what it's supposed to. I've tried bread knives that aren't offset, and dislike them because your hand always hits the board before you've cut all the way through. With an offset knife this isn't a problem plus you can cut faster because you don't have to worry about your hand getting in the way. Shun makes excellent knives and this is no exception.
