This update involves some reordering of several highly rated, tried-and-true models. Alternatively, some cooks go so far as to use a serrated bread knife until it's dull, then toss it out - and for those cooks, the Dexter-Russell Basics is absolutely the way to go.
If that's the case, the Victorinox Fibrox Pro 47550is one option, partly because its offset design makes it easier to power through bread, and partly because its alloy is a bit softer and easier to manage than Japanese knives'. Keeping in mind that bread knives are mostly unitaskers, some people aren't enthused about touching these difficult-to-sharpen knives up when they get dull. In terms of excellence, of course, the Güde Alpha is likely at the top of the line, but we don't recommend that most consumers shell out hundreds for a bread knife that isn't great for a ton of other tasks. Nonetheless, there are still plenty to choose from.Ĭooks who want to buy one good knife and keep it for years should consider the Mac Superior SB-105 and Tojiro F-687, both of which excel in just about every area. However, unlike picking something like a chef's knife, there are mostly only subtle difference between bread slicers. Anything by, for instance, companies like Zelite or Orblue, is generally not considered a worthwhile knife. Like choosing any other knife, avoid cheaply made, rebranded copies with unknown or unrecognizable brand names, as these can be and are wildly inconsistent, and not likely to satisfy most users.
