Bread knives with practical designs

A well-designed bread knife should not only be stylish, but also comfortable to hold. A bread knife with an ergonomic handle will fit the natural curves of your hand, helping to facilitate the cutting motion. For high quality bread knives with functional designs, we recommend Fiskars and Tefal.

Cutting with a serrated bread knife

A serrated edge bread knife is perfect for cutting through hard surfaces and allows you to make a perfect cut without too much compression.

When cutting with a serrated bread knife, you should use a gentle sawing motion and avoid pressing down too hard. Continue to saw back and forth until you have fully cut through the slice.

What size bread knife to choose

Typically bread knives can range between 20 – 40 cm in length. When choosing the right bread knife size for you, should consider what you will be using it for most in order to determine what size will suit you best.

For standard loaves of bread, sandwiches, rolls and tomatoes, a small to medium bread knife should be large enough.

However, if you are going to be cutting larger loaves or dividing cakes for example, then an extra long bread knife will be a more suitable choice for you.

How to clean your bread cutting knife

Before cleaning your bread knife, you should make sure to read the care instructions provided by the suppliers so that you can keep your knife well maintained.

Not all bread knives are dishwasher friendly and some bread knives, such as those with wooden handles, need to be washed by hand.

How to store your bread knife

In order to keep your bread knife in good condition, it should be stored in the correct way. We recommend using a magnetic knife strip or good quality knife block to ensure that the blade stays sharp.
