Bread/Pastry Knives are a lifesaver for any home baker or when prepping for entertaining. If you perfected your sourdough during COVID, or make your own baguette, you need one of these. Serrated blades help penetrate a hard crust and combine with the longer range of motion afforded by the longer blade to avoid tearing any loaf of bread. You can slice bread with precision for sandwich slices, bruschetta, bagels and biscuits, or level cakes and provide exacting slices for equal serving sizes. The length and serration also allows these knives to function as an extremely effective carving knife for roasted meats and brisket.
