Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kai Wasabi Black Bread Knife, 9-Inch
Customer Review: A very good bread knife
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a 20-year-old el-cheapo laser-cut bread knife that I have dreaded replacing, as it cuts the smoothest of any bread knife I've ever had. I have tried various replacement knives over the years, but all have had those huge serrations and mangled the bread more than cut it. However, I do believe I've finally found a reasonable replacement! This knife cuts fresh bread quite nicely, and doesn't leave a million crumbs all over the cutting board.
It has a very unusual serration style which is a series of flowing curves instead of sharp points, and a plastic oval handle that is just rough enough so that it doesn't slip in your hands as you use it (a kind of rough velvet texture). My only concern is that if I ever have to have it sharpened, I will probably have to send it away, as the serration style is so unusual. Unlike my Shun knives, nothing came with the knife to say where I could get the knife resharpened if needed, so I would be at a loss. This concern is the reason I did not give 5 stars for the knife.
Even with that taken into account, for the price this is probably the best bread knife you'll find, so I recommend getting it.
Description of Kai Wasabi Black Bread Knife, 9-Inch
Even sliced of warm, fresh bread are just a heartbeat away. The serrated edge of our 9 inch bread knife easily cuts through both soft and crusty loaves of bread with ease, and keeps from destroying the integrity of the loaf. Our Wasabi line of knives are made in the traditional Japanese blade styling. Each knife features unsurpassed cutting performance due to the Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless which maintains superior edge retention. To reduce food sticking, the blades are sharpened on a single side. Although it has a traditional blade-style, it is paired with a uniquely modern handle material, polypropylene blended with bamboo powder, and impregnated with an antibacterial agent for super clean food preparation.Bread & Serrated Knives
