The smell of fresh baked bread will bring everyone running to the kitchen smiling and ready for a hot buttery slice, but having the wrong knife to slice the bread will ruin the moment by shredding and tearing the beautiful loaf of bread. Slicing delicate foods like bread with any old knife will cause frustration and wasted food. One of the most important kitchen knives to have in your home is the bread knife, also known as a slicer. The bread knife, which is designed to handle both tough and delicate jobs like thick crust French bread and soft tomatoes, will quickly become your most used slicing knife. Along with your top quality chef knife and paring knife the bread knife will make your kitchen safe and fun, and save you time on any cooking project you take on.

       The bread knife, also known as a slicing or carving knife, has a long thin blade. Not all bread knives are serrated, but having the serrated edge helps the bread knife blade grip well on tough surfaces such as hard bread crust. Ranging in size from 8-18 inches the bread knife blades are designed to allow a clean cut in just one stroke of the blade, because sawing back and forth to make cuts in roasts, fish, and bread will cause a damaged, less attractive finished product. Bread knife blades are made thin to help prevent moist food from sticking to the blade when cuting. Many slicers are available with a Granton edge which uses small oval indentations on the blade to create pockets of air between the bread knife and food to prevent food from sticking and tearing.
