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

Man, this knife is so sharp! Way better than our old bread knife. While cutting I looked into the very soul of our bread. I tore through the very fabric of reality, staring at the void, as the void stared back at me…and then I just put some butter on my thinly sliced sourdough and went back to watching tv. 8/10 would recommend (would give ten stars, but the whole void thing, you know)

7 year review: This knife lived through the mad Covid years, attacking tirelessly an endless line of beautifully crafted sourdough loaves, sometimes 4 loaves in a week!. This lightweight, sleek, sharp, easy to use, ultra functional and very very beautiful knife is a prized possession …. It deserves a pedestal in MoMA. Below is my original review written 7 years ago: Absolutely wonderful knife. Perfect match for a very difficult to slice bread. No knead 1.5 kg loaf! The bread is difficult to cut because not only it is massive but it also has an impossibly fine "glass" covering on top and an extra thick crunchy crust at the bottom. I have used several expensive knives to cut this bread and have been frustrated because the slices I obtained were hack jobs at best. Glass destroyed, middles pulled and bottom crust deshaped beyond salvage. This knife, does a perfect job of delivering consistently uniform slices - effortlessly. The sharp serrated edge leaves hardly any crumbs from the glass, slides through the vast middle and finishes the bottom crust with a calligraphic flourish. The mesmerizing action is amazing, very effective and highly satisfying. 6 MONTHS ON: After perfectly slicing 20 loaves This Tojiro is going strong. To have it ready for the job, respect the knife as you would a fine instrument. To keep the knife (and fingers) safe in the drawer of less frequently used implements, I have reused the flimsy container after reinforcing critical corners with small pieces of heavy duct tape on the outside, and sticking a piece of folded aluminum foil where the knife point would touch in the inside. The store hanging tab now works as a handy pull tab to slide the knife compartment out of the clear sleeve.

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.

Great knife! Easily cuts through my homemade sourdough (which has a very firm crust), like a hot knife through butter and is a huge step up from my old bread knife that would just tear and crush the loaf. I’m able to evenly cut much thinner slices. Others have noted the thinness and relative flexibility of the blade to be an issue, which I didn’t find to be the case. The handle is comfortable in my hand. I’m glad I purchased this item and highly recommend it.

Because bread knives are very hard to sharpen I see no point in spending as much nearly as much on one as my other knives. This one may be the exception as it is best bread knife I’ve owned in a while. Extremely easy to use, it cuts through tough crusted bread cleanly without smushing the inside and can do the same with softer loaves. Incredibly well priced, I have not needed to sharpen it yet even though it gets basically used daily. It is quite light, so balance is not a problem and the grip fit my hand without being over engineered. People with larger hands may find less comfortable, but it works very well for my needs.

The knife cuts through bread without squishing it, no matter how fresh the loaf. Also, a great cake leveler. Be warned!!! Today I used it to level a chocolate cake and it had more residue on the blade than would wipe off with a towel. So I put it in the dishwater with a few other pieces of silverware. I knew it was there and ever so slowly and gently went to place my hands around the bundle to rinse and it got me. Not bad, but I just barely touched it and it got the edge of my thumb. This blade is so sharp, I keep it in it's own box on top of the toaster oven. Don't ever store it in a drawer with other utensils. It will get you if you look at it wrong. Handle with caution and keep far away from kids, otherwise a great knife!

Reçu en une semaine, très rapide pour une expédition depuis le Japon. Acheté à 20€, le meilleurs prix, même comparé aux vendeurs japonais d'Amazon.com Le manche est très basique et peu attirant, mais la lame dentelée est très efficace pour couper le pain sans l'écraser. Fabriqué avec de l'acier japonais, la lame est bien aiguisé et plus dur que les couteaux occidentaux fabriqués avec des aciers mou. Après plusieurs mois d'usage, le fil de la lame se recourbe à certain endroit. Pour le redresser, utiliser un fusil en céramique ou en diamant. Le couteau recoupe ainsi comme à ses débuts.

Works beautifully.

タイ人の友人に頼まれて購入。タイにはこのようなパンスライサーが売ってないそうで。 使い心地は切れ味も良くクズが出にくくてとても良いと喜ばれました。 食パンを家で焼く人には1つあると良い品だと思います。

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.

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