Classic Bread Knife Size 22.9cm by Shun

The Shun Classic Bread Knife's wide, "low frequency" serrations are not only razor-sharp, but they slice any variety of bread considerably better than a straight-edged knife. The undulating serrations give the strength required to cut through a crusty loaf without harming the soft inside. It also works wonderfully on particularly soft breads and pastries.
