Worry no more, I will review various kinds of bread knives, their good and bad points (pun intended) and conclude on which is the best in the market.

Let’s begin:

It has geometrically angled serrations and long blade length to cut slices as thin as you want them without causing a mess of crumbs and crumbling bread slices.

A feature that most bread knives have that makes them good is the core having high carbon levels making it extra sharp and as such it retains an edge for a very long time which is a very important aspect.

The blade is tapered to reduce resistance putting this among the best bread knives.
