Bread knives typically have a long, narrow blade with a serrated edge. The serrations allow it to slice through crusty bread without crushing the soft interior. Additionally, its length allows the user to make clean, even cuts across short and wide loaves alike. These knives are practical for cutting not only bread, but also pastries and even delicate foods like tomatoes.
Likely the most widely used Japanese stainless steel, it provides great rust resistance, very good edge retention, and is relatively easy to sharpen. Because of how many companies use this steel to produce their knives, it can sometimes get a bad rep, but we have had nothing but positive experiences using and sharpening it. Knives made from this steel are generally a bit more affordable compared to those made from steels like R2 and ZDP189 while still offering fantastic performance and easy maintenance.

LOW MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel Japanese knives are made in a process called “Sanmai” or “Forge welding” where two softer layers of stainless steel are laminated around a harder core layer of stainless steel. All three of these layers are rust resistant and therefore are not susceptible to rust or discoloration. The softer outer layers of steel are used to make the knife more durable and flexible while the harder core layer is used to provide better edge retention to the blade.
