Tojiro Japan Hand Made Bread Knife Slicer Cutter, 14.75", Stainless and Wood - Reinforced Laminated Material

Unbelievable knife! I am very impressed. Great value foe the money.

Le couteau est excellent, il coupe parfaitement les pain complet/levain etc. La livraison est très rapide, il est arrivé au 7eme jour de l’expédition.

It's very, very sharp! I always struggle to get thin slices of bread for sandwiches but with this one it was so easy, you don't even have to apply much force at all. Also used it for leveling cakes and it was great for that as well. Really happy with it so far.

Very good quality, little bit long

This bread and tomato knife is the new darling of our kitchen at the great bar I work at in Las Vegas. I've had it for over two weeks and any positive review here is solid; this knife has seen a ton of action in a professional kitchen with impressive results. There are three extremely important details about this bread blade that you will either love or hate. It's the chopped liver of knives. --It is whisper light, the polar opposite of heavy and weighs a scosh more than a hummingbird wing (alright, hyperbole aside, three wings). --It is remarkably sharp. --It is the Webster Dictionary default definition of "whippy". This crazy knife is like those cartoon saw blades that are all flimsy and bend with a slight breeze but still able to return to its original form. Now, this does not mean it's like wire that bends and holds it's curve, no, this saw-toothed cutter bounces back. It is so, so BENDY, but you will either love it to death or murder it with a refund. If you want a bread knife that has easily seen two hundred various sandwiches and more without any signs of losing its cutting prowess and a lightweight almost kiddy straw of a blade, scoop this one up and ditch the coffee for three or four days. I'll close this soliloquy with full transparency and some advice to folks who may be new to a pro kitchen: even when you hold your knife properly when walking with and calling out "knife" and "corner" and all that, remember most outside people who periodically come out to fix equipment have absolutely zero understanding of the kitchen. This Knife cut the flexor or palm side of my middle finger between the first and second knuckles. To the bone. With an hour left of service. By a guy fixing the soda carbonation. Not his, my or the knife's fault, crap just happens and you move on, hopefully with no added iron in the poke.

This product is what we expected from a company in my wife's home prefecture in Japan. I've been to the city where they are famous for knife and cutlery making. The online price is basically the same as compared to having my in-laws send one from Japan. It passed my wife's high Japanese standard for tools. Solid construction and excellent cutting. Wood handles always outweigh any cheap plastic knives. We should have ordered this 10 years ago. Sometimes you get used to using crappy tools in the kitchen or garage and lose a sense of quality to which, when holding a superior tool in your hand, you then regret the past years of sub quality use. It is a bit more expensive than a regular Chinese made knife but worth it. The only thing comparable would be knives from Germany from a town that I lived close to: Solingen knives.
