It's a bread knife - it cuts bread
First off note that the picture for this item appears to show the utility knife in this series - not the bread knife - the bread knife is serrated as you might expect.It is a nice bread knife, if a bit short for my tastes (20cm blade I think), but the only reason to buy this knife as opposed to a much cheaper one is because you have other knives in the series and want to complete the set. That having been said, if you are in that position then it will not disappoint - it is a beautiful knife.

Fantastic Sheffield craftsmanship.
A truly beautiful knife, in both the finish of the blade and handle. The Damascus layers are clearly visible, and the blade is very sharp and stiff. The knife has the weight that tells you you're holding a high quality blade. Even the box is impressive, made of bamboo wood with a profiled foam lining (think professional camera case). The use of high quality Japanese steel (even though it's stainless, it's still really hard and retains an edge) is a great touch in keeping with this style of knife. A fine example of Sheffield knife craftsmanship.

Beautiful knives for the amateur to the professional cook.
Arrived as advertised. Excellent knife to complete my set, which as I understand are no longer being made. Would recommend to anyone of differing abilities in the kitchen. These are knives that if maintained properly will last a life time. I intend to pass them onto my son when he is old enough.
