Chicago Cutlery 10-Inch Serrated Bread Knife - Sharp Stainless Steel Blade for Slicing Bread, Cake & Pastries - Ergonomic Walnut Wood Handle - Perfect for Bakeries, Restaurants & Home Kitchens

* UPDATE 2 *I've had this knife for over a year now. This knife still works so well I don't even have to think about it. It's been very durable. The blade hasn't noticeably dulled and is still tightly attached to the handle--no wiggle room. The handle itself is wood, so there is a bit of upkeep to it. It grew a bit rough from occasional washings, though I never let it sit in water. I sanded it very lightly and briefly, then applied mineral oil to the handle. It looks and feels great. I'll continue to oil it every six months, though just doing on a yearly basis would likely be sufficient.Overall I think it's an excellent buy. Costs 1/4 of other brands, is long enough to cut the largest loaves of bread, and is very durable.* UPDATE *If anything my appreciation of this knife has only gone up in the six months I've had it. I've subjected it to about the most rigorous torture test I can think of: slicing a loaf of my bread. I like artisan bread, you know, the large loaves that are baked at 500° for 45 mins in a dutch oven and then removed and placed on the oven rack for about 20 minutes. The bread is done when it's almost black on the outside. Incredible flavor, and a crust that's about 1/4" thick and hard as cement. This knife is the only one I've used that can handle bread like that. I got the 10" knife because you need that for these larger loaves. The serrations are concave, meaning the "teeth" come to a point, rather than the awful rounded versions out there. It's also just plain sharp. Barely grazed my hand on the blade and it cut like my hand wasn't even there. Thankfully, it was very shallow and healed quickly, because it was a much cleaner cut than a duller knife would have made. 5 stars, heartily!* ORIGINAL REVIEW *I'm a huge fan of this knife. Have owned for a couple weeks and put it to good use. Cuts through normal bread with aplomb. Will test it out on some thick-crusted artisan bread later and update this review.
